Ole's bright future looms for Freddie Cole in boxing
Freddie Cole, the local featherweight, scored a four round victory over George Williams at the Auditorium with three rights to the jaw. Cole plans rest for three to four weeks before aiming at a rematch within six weeks, seeking bigger purses and a wider draw. Cole's manager Kane believes rest will sharpen his star power after the Williams triumph, while Indianapolis fans showered him with a heartfelt ovation. Williams, praised for speed, had drawn Attell comparisons, but Cole’s decisive win places him high among featherweights and raises questions whether Attell could beat him in four rounds. Murphy also receives praise for steady performances, though his punch lacks knockout power.
