THE CHINA MAIL, THURSDAY.

SUGAR RAY ROBINSON KNOCKS OUT FULLMER IN FIFTH ROUND

Chicago, May 1.

Ancient Sugar Ray Robinson joined the ring immortals tonight by winning the World Middleweight Championship for an unprecedented fourth time with a terrific left hook to the chin that knocked out the pre- viously unstopped Gene Fullmer at 1:27 of the fifth round in Chicago Stadium.

Robinson's upset victory was the most glamorous of his amazing 17-year career. He went into the ring an underdog at 3 to 1 against the rugged Utah "battering ram”, who had outpointed him decisively for the 160-pound crown in New York on January 2.

The knockout came with in- credible and unexpected sudden- ness for the 36-year-old Sugar had appeared to be Uring in the Bfth round, just before he landed the left
