"Argentina's 22 year old hopeful for the heavyweight title, Alex Miteff, nursing a swollen left eye, blamed mile-high air and heavy gloves for a sluggish performance on the way to a knockout victory over Johnny Holman Tuesday night. Miteff, 205, was almost kayoed in the 6th when Holman, 204, caught him with a series of rights that sent the South American reeling to the ropes. Miteff, scoring his 12th pro victory without a defeat, came back with a body attack that set up Holman for the 9th round finish." -Associated Press
