Henry Armstrong vs. Fritzie Zivic 'I' ~ "The Most Vicious Battle"

[Bill Paxtom]

'Round 15'

Coming out for the 'Final Round', the bout was still up for grabs, as '2'
of the Scorecards had the bout 'Even'.

At the bell, Fritzie came out fast and immediately battered the tired and weary
Champion. By the end of the first-minute, it was obvious that Henry had
nothing left, as Fritzie was walking through the Champion's weak punches.

Fritzie then slammed Henry with hard left-jabs, and solid right-crosses. Fritzie
then drove Henry all over the Ring, and had the fading Champion reeling on
wobbling legs.

By the {1:30 Mark}, the hand-writing was on the wall for Henry.

At the {2:40 Mark}, Fritzie stung Henry with a hard combination, and then
drove Henry sputtering with a series of lefts-and-rights to the head.

At the {2:57 Mark}, Fritzie unloaded and caught Henry on the side of the
head with a hard right-hand, driving Henry to his right. Fritzie moved in
and push/punched with another right-hand and Henry went down to the
canvas and landed on his right ear as the bell sounded ending the bout.
