    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    'The Skinny'

    Pedro Osvaldo Lovell >
    Pedro Lovell was from Argentina, but was based out of Los Angeles. A big guy, with good
    power and fairly quick-hands.

    Pedro was a 'hot commodity', and was being proclaimed as a future Title Challenger. But
    despite his good offensive skills, Pedro had a 'shaky defense', and could be tagged, as he
    had been floored in several bouts by;
    * Charlie James
    * Dan Johnson {2-times}
    * Willie Moore

    Willie Ketchum - Manager >
    "After this bout, we are planning on taking on former 2-Time Champion - Floyd Patterson
    next, possibly for October 1973."

    "I have already offered Floyd $100,000 to come out of retirement to fight Pedro here at
    the Olympic. Floyd said he would need 6-Weeks to prepare, and that mid-October would
    work for him. He'll be here at Ringside to scout Pedro."

    Terry 'The Pill' Krueger >
    Terry was a 'hard-banging' southpaw Heavyweight from San Antonio, Texas.

    Terry was the Texas State Heavyweight Champion, but the 5-Year Professional was primarily
    a Texas club-fighter with great offensive skills, but with a porous defense.

    Though he could punch, Terry had also been {KO''d} '6-Times' in his '35-Bouts'. Including a
    {L KO 3} loss to Mani Vaka in Hawaii, in his last bout on June 10, 1973.

    Jimmy Parks -Trainer >
    "We didn't come here to play games. Terry is going to go right after this guy, and test his chin
    with big hooks. Pedro can be hit, and if Terry catches him, he will go."

    'The Double Skinny'

    Pedro Lovell is listed as the {8-1} Betting-Favorite.

    London Boxing Matchmaker - Mickey Duff will be here to scout both Pedro Lovell and Terry Krueger.
    Mickey has offered the 'winner' of this bout, {$60,000} to come to London, United Kingdom in
    October 1973 to face Joe Bugner.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "The Bout"

    From the Opening Bell, Pedro went right after Terry. Pedro exploded with a series of left-hands
    and straight-rights into Terry's face, driving him all around the Ring.

    In Rounds 2 and 3, Pedro's right-hands found the 'perfect-mark' as he jolted Terry repeatedly,
    and again sent the Texan reeling backwards around the Ring.

    Early in Round 4, Pedro continued to send in straight right-hands into Terry's face as both
    fighters exchanged at Center-Ring for the first 35-Seconds.

    But, during one-exchange, Terry caught Pedro with a big left-hook to the side of his head. Pedro
    looked all-right, but in a 'delayed reaction' a few seconds later his legs wobbled. Pedro then
    'stumbled' into Terry.

    Pedro immediately tried to grab Terry to prevent from falling down. Terry then broke free, and
    clobbered Pedro with another left-hook that shook him at the {0:42 Mark}.

    Terry then followed up with right-hand to the chin to the head that had Pedro nearly 'out-on-his-feet'.
    Terry then unloaded with several combinations, as Pedro finally fell to the canvas.

    Referee - John Thomas counted out Pedro Lovell at 1:03 of Round 4.
