ยป 1 F iore, Whitewater Ten-Rounder Tops Card at Rainbo Tonight Television Showing Outside Chicago Area, :Gonzalez,Boyd Trade Blows in Semi-Wind up Another interesting match is on tap tonight, when Carmine Fiore, hard-hitting New York welterweight clashes with "Chief" Archie Whitewater, in the 10-round main event, which will be televised nationally, but blacked out in the local area, with the main event going on at 8:00 p. m. CDT. This promises to be one of the better fights of the year. Fiore, a slam-bang type of fighter, will be facing in Whitewater a fast-moving and clever 147 pounder, who is always boring in, and who is noted for his powerful two-fisted punching. Fiore has an impressive ring record of 54 fights, 36 victories, 13 losses and five draws. Tonight will be his first Chicago showing, and the former bootblack from New Yorks lower East Side, will be fighting for the right to meet Gil Turner in Madison Square Garden in early June. He has defeated Vic Cardell, Freddy Faiello, and recently fought a sizzler with Jimmy Martinez. His meeting last December with Chico Vejar was a sizzling affair, with Vejar lucky to escape with a close 10-round verdict over Fiore. First Venture Outside California "Chief" Archie Whitewater, an experienced West Coast campaigner, has never fought outside of California in all of his 70 professional fights. Although Archie now lives in Oakland, Calif., he hails originally from Muskegan, Okla., and is a full-blooded Cherokee Indian. Archie has defeated such top performers as Rudy Cruz, Gerald La Broi, Snuffy Smith and Ray Acosta. He has had 70 pro fights, winning 47, losing 16, and boxing six draws. His manager, Syd Flaherty, hopes to be able to keep his fighter working here in this part of the country, and wants to start with a victory over Fiore tonight. The six-round semi-windup is a middleweight punching duel pairing Chicagos speedy Bobby Boyd against Pedro Gonzales of Pittsburgh, Pa. Both will scale 160 pounds for their battle.
