Manfredo Beaten Before Fight Started in Cleveland Card
Manfredo, Fresno rising contender, looked scared as he entered the arena to face Henry Armstrong. Armstrong controlled the bout, stopping Manfredo in the second or early third round after a strong barrage. The main event drew 12,784 fans, raising funds for Cleveland-area needy children as the undercard featured Elyria High making its season debut against Akron South. Elyria’s lineup centers on six-foot-seven Bill Cowen with support from Bob Yanke, Dick Selman, Larry Coleman, and Joe Hereld. Akron South counters with veteran experience led by Doc Wargo.
