Paul Berlenbach Has Had Dramatic Life as Pugilist
New York April 28 Fey if any other modern fighters have had as dramatic and rapid a rise and fall as Paul Berlenbach now retired at 26. Two four round knockouts showed high spots in his career. He was stopped in four by Jack Delaney three years ago after repeatedly overmatching opponents with a left hook. The defeat spurred a comeback to the world light heavyweight title and a pair of 14 round rematches with Delaney. He peaked this year when knocked out in four rounds by Mike McMine, a comeback warrior from Cincinnati.
