'''PORTLAND EXPRESS''' - January 3, 1969: '''RICCITELLI DOWN FOUR TIMES
IN LOSING GO WITH SPENCE.'''

There's no question about Pete Riccitelli's jaw this morning, nor about
his courage either, following his loss by a unanimous decision to
nonchalant Eddie Spence of Pittsfield, Mass. in a ten round main bout
at the Portland Exposition Building last night.

Pete, who weighed 172 to Spence's 169 1/2, was knocked down four times
by hard punches to the chin but the jaw broken in a bout last July
withstood the battering.

The effects of Riccitelli's long layoff was apparent. His timing was
awry; he couldn't go ten three-minute rounds at top speed and he was
hit by punches from which he'd normally flit away. And he still doesn't
throw a straight right.

Spence, a relaxed individual, reacted however with lighting speed to
Riccitelli's defensive lapses. He floored Pete in the third with two
rights and a left hook to the head,dropped him twice in the eighth, the
first time with a short right to the chin and the second with a flurry
of punches to the head, and had him down again in the ninth with another
barrage to the head.

Riccitelli's left jabs and snapping left hooks won three rounds, and a
bolo to the body caused Spence some trouble, but Pete took a bad
beating in the last three rounds. However, he continued to throw
punches to the end to win the respect, if not the affection of most of
the 2,000 fans in attendance.
