    • Duran Fights Long in Main Bout Tonight Young Maxie Rosenbloom To Meet Manrico

    New faces to Corpus Christi boxing fans will be featured tonight at the 40&8 Arena when Promoter Fred Lutz presents his second show of the new year. Lou Duran of San Antonio and Huey Long of Houston are carded in the main event—a 10-round affray. Duran appeared before, knocking out Perry Brewer in five rounds. He later defeated Battling Johnson after six rounds. He wins roost battles by the knockout method- His opponent, Long, has run r o u g h l y through competition around Houston, Dallas, and New Orleans where he acquired a reputation of rough and fast fighting, as his last five knockouts will attest He outweighs Duran and is younger, but the San Antonio battler is a veteran of many wars who will match his wits and power against the speedier youngster. Young Maxie Rosenbloom of New York has copied the style of the former champion who bears the same name, and developed into a flashy fighter. He is to tangle with Al Manrico of Houston in a 10-roundcr. The two fought a bout recently at Houston when Promoter Lutz was visiting there. At that time he signed the two scrappers for an appearance in Corpus Christi. – The Corpus Christi Times. Corpus Christi, Texas, Evening Edition, January 26, 1938

    Manrico and Lou Duran Win By Knockouts Rosenbloom And Long Fall Before Pair == Al Manrico and Lou Duran scored knockouts over their opponents last night at 40 & 8 Arena in the two scheduled 10-round bouts. The diminutive Manrico stayed on Maxie Rosenbloom's trail, until early in the third when he uncorked a right uppercut which sent young Maxie to the mat for a count of 10. Maxie was on the retreat throughout the short match, but until his final fall managed to slash across numerous jarring punches. Manrico's crouching style puzzled Rosenbloom, who was caught off guard twice in the second round, going down once before a right overhand for a count of nine and again for three, the bell ending the round. In the third Manrico came out for the finish, bewildered Maxie with his elusive weaving, and finally landed the final punch. – BY HOYT E. HAGER, JR. The Corpus Christi Times.
