Fritzie Zivic vs. Henry Armstrong 'II' ~ 'The Rematch'

[Bill Paxtom]

'Round 10'

It was more of the same, as Fritzie slammed Henry with 'jarring punches'.

Fritzie ripped in short upper-cuts into Henry's face while they were in close.

Henry was now sporting '3' cuts under the left-eye, and '3' cuts under the right-eye,
and his face was as 'red' as a Raspberry.

Henry took a 'lathering of punches' as the sell out crowd at Madison Square Garden
sat stunned watching Henry getting hammered apart.

Henry was nearly blind now, as both his eyes were slits. He could barely see the
punches coming in, and got rocked each time that Fritzie threw a punch.

And when Henry moved forward to throw a punch, Fritzie would easily side-step
him, and rip away with short hooks. It was a 'massacre'.

At the end of Round 10, Referee - Arthur Donovan walked over to Henry's corner
and pleaded with him to 'quit'.

Arthur Donovan >
"It's over Henry, you can't beat him. He's too far ahead on points, and he's beating
you up. Please quit, or I'll have to stop it. The Doctor wants me to call it off."

But the 'courageous' warrior asked for 'one more Round'
