...concerning Paolino Uzcudun, whom I am personally acquainted with, I resent very much the statement made by Mr. Bleecker in which he calls the former a "pug." I do not doubt Mr. Bleecker's right to describe the Spanish pugilist as he sees fit but he certainly does not know Senor Uzcudun in using the epithet "pug."

...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.

...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.
