. Bloody 15 - Round Baffle
Sees Fusari Lose Crown
fo Cinderella Kid
N CHICAGO, March 15 — !*>— The
5 NBA's brand new welterweigh
" champion Cinderella Kid Johnny
. Bratton, has a tentative May 4 date
, to defend his title against Cuba’?
v Kid Gavilan at New York’s Madi
son Square Garden.
But it will be a long time before
clout-and-cruise Bratton forget?
* the bloody 15-round battle with
game-to-the-core Charlie Fusar.
which gave him Sugar Ray Rob
inson’s vacated crown at Chicago
Stadium last night. Both men
weighed 146 Vi pounds.
A sparce stadium crowd of 6,954
and millions Who viewed it on tele
vision saw Bratton gain a split de
cision over Fusari.
The fight appeared finished when
. Bratton, a cute clipper who fight1
in spurts, whistled a right that
knocked Fusari flat on his back in
the 10th round. But Fusari rolled
over, clutched onto the referee’s
shirt and hauled himself to his feet
at the count of nine.
The gross gate was $42 921.90. The
crowd was held down by rain and
snow — as well as television.
Although Bratton ran out of gas
after flooring Fusari in the fourth
round for a four count and almost
ending the fight in the tenth, it
was a great night for the 23-year-old
Chicago Negro.
Twice previously, in the same
ring, Bratton had his Jaw broken—
by Beau Jack and Ike Williams—
and until late last year appeared
headed for boxing’s limbo.
Fusari paid dearly for five months
of idleness.
