Heavies To Meet At Hollywood
By United Press Leased Wire
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 23.—Heavyweights will be the attraction to the double main event of the boxing card at Hollywood Legion Stadium tonight.
Armand Emanuel will meet Vick Doman in one of the ten rounders while Tony Fuente and Jack Roper will tangle in the other.
Doman, of the slugging type with a knockout punch in both hands, will be up against a clever boy in Emanuel. While some rate Emanuel head and shoulders above Doman, the latter is depending upon his hitting ability to pound down the agile Emanuel.
When Fuente and Roper get together a slugging bee is expected. Both boys pack a wicked punch. If it goes the distance Fuente, with a little more finish, is the favorite.
Billy Blake and Phil Harris in a six-round special and Art Yarnel and Sammy Aguerre in a four rounder top off the card.
