...Paulino Uzcudun, the oldtime Spanish boxer with the hairy chest and concrete chin, was reported busy with a speedboat last week rescuing White civilians from Red ports. "My only regret," said he, cuddling a submachine gun, "is that in war I can't use my fists." Spain's No. 1 football forward, Ricardo Zamora, was throwing hand grenades last week and various bull fighters were engaged en both sides at Madrid. "The Great Belmonte" had stopped fighting bulls to become a rural policeman...
...improve the picture. By last autumn Louis was not merely the ablest fighter of his generation but the greatest of all time. His opponents, crediting the myth, approached the ring as though it were an abattoir. Chicago's pugilistic chopping block, King Levinsky, lasted 141 seconds. Tough old Paulino Uzcudun did better.

Boxer Louis' amazing speed, poise and general genius might have been observed as fully had he worked out with a punching bag instead of a real, live human like Paulino Uzcudun. But neither fox hunters nor fight fans get full fun out of bags, which was the only reason for 20,000 people paying $128,000 to see an animated bronze statue pitted against a lumpy Spaniard a full decade past his prime. The billing was that nobody had knocked...
