"Hurricane Henry" Retains His World Welterweight Title Armstrong Scores Technical Knockout Over Manfredo In Third Round; Busy Boxing Champion Celeveland, Dec. 5.
ENRY Armstrong, negro world lightweight and welterweight champion, continued to be the "busiest champion in the business" by successfully defending his 147-pound title for the second time in less than a fortnight when he technically knocked out Al Manfredo tonight in the third round of a planned fifteen-round bout.
The little negro did not give Manfredo a change to get set. From the opening gong he rushed his bigger opponent and bombarded him with furious two-fisted barrages.
Referee Tony Labranch halted the bout after one minute 45 seconds in the third round when Manfredo was helpless and at Armstrong's mercy.
