CHAMPION PLAYED
CARNERA CAUSTICALLY CRITICISED
HIS BOUT WITH LOUGHRAN
CRUEL, DIRTY FIGHT. “Camera is still champion, but probably the worst we have ever had.” says a message from \ aueoiixer dated March 5.’ This Tandy summarises the comments in America s sports pages to-day, as the writers ridiculed the enormous Italian because he was unable to knock from liis feet or even eul Tommy Lougliran, a man half a foot shorter and Cst 21b lighter than himself. Sent out m Hie lasi round lo bring' his man down, Camera cut loose with both hands, ripping, clubbing, and punching, while Loughran was always on the verge of being knocked aout. Women screamed and begged the reeling Loughran lo stay on In's feet and last out the round, lie was driven before Primo like a small boat in .a stormy sea, but managed to stay standing until the final bell. Camera fought what the boxing writers caller a cruel, dirty fight, using his tremendous strength to wrestle Loughran into Ihc ropes, leaning on him and mauling him at every turn. It was this that exhausted Loughran. Camera’s managers announce that he will fight, Max Baer or Sieve llamas in September.
