SPUMING
COMMENT
The new lightweight cham
pion Paddy De Marco, did
what the experts said he
couldn’t do recently. He out
roshed Jimmy Carter, the ex
champion as a result of the
fight, and stayed strong until
the end. He also avoided a
K. O. which some thought
Carter would bestow upon be
fore the night ended.
K Carter seemed to be a bit
puzzled by the aggressive
tactics. He kept waiting to
get the right opening for nine
or ten rounds and by that
time the fight was lost. He
never did get it, even in the
desperate moments of the
11th' 12th, and 13th rounds
when he moved in constantly.
The DeMarco-Carter fight
was a thriller even though
there were no knockdowns. It)
was an interesting example of j
a smarter fighter grabbing
the crown from the out
thought champion. The two
fighters meet again, and Car
ter will get his chance to re
tain the crown. No douht he
I will go into action earlier this
next time. This reporter would
give him the decision inareturn
bout, though it will be close,
and even though he is thirty j
years old to DeMarco’s
twenty-six years.
DeMarco will have to fight
even better next time, against
the ex-champion, than he did
recently for the psycholygy
will be reversed. Garter will
be hungry. It will be up to
him to show the judges and

referee that he is the better
man in the next one. DeMarco
will be the champ, and if the
challenger doesn't show some
thing to warrant a- crown
swapping, then DeMarco wil
retain the lightweight title.
Carter’s fatal mistake in the
recent go was his failure to
solve DeMarco’s charging
style. He never did get hurt
by the new champ, whereas
DeMarco was stunned a couple
of times by Carter. Even Car
ter’s managers failed to sense
until too late that the cham
pion was losing his crown.
The time for a decision, and a
definite change of tactics was
not later than the ninth, pre
ferably the eighth. It seemed
to come in the eleventh, and
then Carter didn’t have the
steam left to pull it out, or put
DeMarco to sleep.
One thing is sure as a result
of the latest upset. The next
Carter DeMarco outing will be
a stem-winder. It is likely to
get off to a faster start too,
because Carter won’t waltz
around trying to figure out the
champion’s style in the first
half of the fight. DeMarco
says he is ready and confident
to take on the challenger. The
fight will come off, probably
in the next three months. It
will be interesting to watch
the outcome of it.
