HEAVY-WEIGHT BOXING
CARNERA BEATS REDMOND KNOCK-OUT IN FIRST ROUND, NEW YORK, June 15. (Received June 16, at 5.5 p.m.) At Brooklyn Camera, 19st 91b, knocked but Pat Redmond, of Australia, 17st 81b, in the first round. Redmond never had a chance. With almost his first punch Camera landed a hefty right and put his opponent down for a count of eight, and from then on Redmond was rocking on his heels. The Italian swarmed all over him, never, giving him a chance to get set. Camera pushed the fighting from the bell and came out throwing punches, the result never being in doubt after he connected with the first blow. Jack Sharkey, the Boston heavyweight, who was originally scheduled to meet Carnera in to-night’s programme, climbed into the ring and congratulated the winner as Redmond’s seconds worked frantically to revive their man.
