SPIT IN EACH OTHER'S FACES
THE B. DE GUZMAN-Collins. "title" bout, yes terday week, provided Manila fans with plenty of fun if nothing else, says the "Manila Bulletin." The highlight of the bout, which was billed as for the lightweight championship of the Orient, was that Collins lasted 10 rounds, a fact which many fans, ap- parently, did not expect.
Aside from dishing out some of the weirdest sort of fighting, both fighters got down-right nasty and started spitting and spouting water in each other's faces.
