Fight:1358062

Ezzard Charles beat Stanley Goicz by PTS in round 3 of 3

• Date: 1944-12-13
• Location: Brancaccio Theatre, Roma, Lazio, Italy

Referee: Thompson (U.S.)

Cautious start on both sides. The first round passes without recording anything remarkable. In the next round the irons begin to warm up a bit, Ezzard throws a few lefts (two of them come in slightly low) and, at the end he is admired for a nice double. Goicz, on the other hand, is slow to get into action, limiting his tactics to the defense.

In the last assault, the initiative is of Ezzard, who scores with lefts to the body doubled by rights to the jaw. Goicz responds from time to time with lefts to the face of little effectiveness. Deserved and applauded success of Ezzard. Corriere dello Sport, December 14, 1944.
