Marcel Cerdan beat Clint Perry by KO at 1:10 in round 1 of 3

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

"Marcel Cerdan, French middleweight who was regarded as the young man most likely to succeed in last year's Mediterranean theatre boxing championships, moved into a second annual inter-allied nose-mashing affair today before a crowd of some 1,500. The French sailor featured in this afternoon's card by flattening Sgt. Clinton Perry, a long, lanky Boston negro, in exactly 1:10 with a left and right barrage. Perry never landed a punch." -Associated Press
