Primo Carnera vs. Paulino Uzcudon ~ 'Forgetten Heavyweight Championship'

[Bill Paxtom]

Nobody gave the Spaniard much of a chance to win.

The muscular 'wood-chopper' from the Basque country was strong, but was not a quality
boxer.

Paulino's strength was 'his strength' and durability. In a 10-Year career and in '67-Bouts',
the veteran had never been floored.

The Spaniard is a 'rugged challenger', but will have little chance against the 'mammoth-sized' Italian.

Uzcudon's best bet, is to stay on the defensive against the Champion over the first 10-Rounds. Then to
put in an effort to wear Carnera down over the next few Rounds. Then to put forth an offensive-charge over
the last 2-Rounds and try to take him out.

Uzcudon will not win a Decision here, as Carnera is just too big and has a strong left-hand to pile
up the Points. The Champion also has the better hand-speed, inside punching-skills and strength
advantage.

The Spaniard's handlers have said that their fighter is prepared to give away the first 13-Rounds to
the Champion, for a chance to get in a few good swings over the last 2-Rounds.
