EZZARD CHARLES OVERLOOKED
Freddie Mills, world cruiserweight champion, fights Gus Lesnevich again, but, from 'way across the Atlantic come increasingly distinct rumblings from the handlers of Ezzard Charles, the Cincinatli boxer, who has caused so much havoc among the light-heavyweights in every one of the United States that one begins to wonder how it was possible he came to be overlooked when those in charge of werk title contests gave their championship blessing to the Mills-Jenevich affast.
It seems that Ezzard Charles has proved himself to be one of the
of the trentest ght-heavyweights current boxing
and generation, quite recently the American boxing magazine, The Ring, halled him as The Boxer of the Month following his most convincing nlng-rounds knock-out vletory over Elmer Ray Robinson.
