Round-Up
By Jame Sawyer
Pierre Langlois defeated fav
ored Rocky Castillani in the
middleweight boxing title tourna
ment held in New York’s Madi
son Square Garden last Friday
'night. However, some people
(thought that Castillani won the
fight.
There was a disputed knock
down in the 11th round. When
the round was half over, Castillani
went down. Some thought that
he was pushed, but Referee Ruby
Goldstein laid it was a legitimate
knock down. That was the de
ciding point of the fight.
