Golden Gloves Opens as Sorenson Faces Marshall
Tuesday night at the coliseum featured intense action in the Golden Gloves opener. Jim Sorenson, weighing far less than Ben Marshall, fought bravely and vowed to challenge him again next year after a two week training spell and a second round loss. The event also highlighted Kid Gavilan influenced style, Bragg’s knockouts, and a weight-mixup involving LaVerne Hines that led to his withdrawal. Two rings set a one night record with 49 fights and Iowa officials discussed high school football substitution rules for parity and cost.
