Ray Robinson, the lightning lightweight who fought like a whirlwind through the Golden Gloves last year, won in his professional debut against a rugged and experienced Puerto Rican, Joe Echevarria. Ray went about his task in such a workmanlike manner that he had Echevarria on the floor twice in the first session and twice in the second, when the referee stopped the fight.
