Charlie Thompson, a Wolver- hampton welterweight boxer, was temporarily paralysed by a blow on the chin in a contest against George Davis, Notting Hill, at the Ring Blackfriars, yesterday.

He was knocked out in the thir found, after being down for a pre- vions count... When his seconds tried to assist him to his feet they found that, although he was fully

conscious, he could not move. In was carried from the ring by an

ambulance man and recovered in the dressing-room after receiving médical attention.

JACK KID BERG, the former British light

weight champion, was forced to retire at the end of the seventh round of a 10 rounds welter- weight contest with George Odwell (Camden Town) at the National Sporting Club tournament IRENE at Earl's Court last night, writes Peter Lawless. At the weigh-in Berg scaled 10st 74lb and George SUTCLIFFE

Odwell, who was making his first appearance as a welter-weight, was clearly puzzled in the earlier stages, and the referee, Mr. Jack Morrison, was kept busily employed forcing the two men to break from their wrestling and mauling

At times Odwell crossed with his right, but he only roused BRILLIANT FUTURE

Berg to renew the pummelling of the younger man's body,

•

It was not a pleasant fight to watch. Odwell so obviously held the advantage of the strength of youth, but the mauling of Berg, who kept closer than a brother, was a phase of fighting which bewildered him.

Given any chance to stand off and box he was the crisper hitter, placing his blows with power and precision, but Berg would have none of it. He was for ever for ging in, jolting, hooking, and tying Odwell up in knots from which only the referee could extricate him.

GASH OVER EYE

In the fourth round Berg received a gash over his right eye, and a little later his left was damaged."-

In the seventh round a cut ap peared in his left eyelid, and he was obviously in pain when his seconds attended to it at the end of the round. Continuance would have been a risky proceeding, and it was a relief when he retired.
