No Inquiry Planned Into Boxer's Death
Philadelphia. James Crowley of the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission said no inquiry would be opened into the death of 20 year old middleweight Robert Perry unless the ringside doctor's report suggests otherwise. Perry died at Episcopal Hospital about 48 hours after a loss to Rudy Watkins of Baltimore at the Cambria. The fight was stopped by referee Pantaleo in the sixth round after Perry was knocked down in rounds one and six. He developed a headache in his dressing room, was taken to hospital, and underwent surgery to relieve a brain clot before dying. Crowley stated the situation was very unfortunate and has weighed on him since taking the chair.
