The boul is over the 10-round route and is scheduled to go on about |9 pm. Eastern standard time. A good sized gathering of fans is expected to turn out tonight. Both fighters are “crowd pleasers,” both have good followings and neither hes been | able to establish himself as a popular | favorite. McLarnin is expected to have about @ 4-pound pull in the weights, | coming in at 144, but Petrolle’s recent | knockout triumph over Justo Suarez, | the Argentine lightweigly. star, has | made him an even-money choice. | Only one thing weighs against the | meeting as & gate attraction, That is {that McLarnin has at times seemed to be & bit overcautious in meeting a | dangerous opponent in s return bout. His second ‘scrap with Petrolle was a carefully planned boxing contest instead of the wild leather-slinging melee that | anie out of their first meting.
