Carnera v. Stribling

In Paris, cocky William Lawrence ("Young") Stribling touched gloves again with Primo Carnera, the Brobdingnagian Italian carpenter who recently beat him on a foul (TIME, Dec. 9). In the clinches Stribling strained and sweated against a body 85 Ibs. heavier, 12 1/2 in. taller than his own. In the sixth round he hit Carnera in the stomach. Carnera's vast legs buckled. He knelt a minute, then rose. In the seventh round little Stribling's punches angered Carnera. A strange expression contorted his wide face. The bell was ringing as he rushed at Stribling, swung at him three or four times, then hit him on the head and knocked him down. The referee hoisted Stribling up, disqualified Carnera, evened the Carnera-Stribling foul score.
