Johnny Arthur vs. Al Lewis – A boxing expert, Infinity, has predicted that Johnny Arthur will advance to the Sweet 16. Blue Lewis had no such advocate. Arthur blocked a Lewis jab, then countered with a terrific hook that drove Al back! Lewis regrouped, connecting on some jabs and crosses, negating the big hit. Seeing an opening, he twisted and threw a textbook cross, Arthur falling to the canvas

! Johnny bounced back up at the count of 2 and started covering up. Lewis made that decision a bad one, landing more jabs and crosses. Now Arthur was on Bink Street, and a snappy combination sent him reeling into the ropes

! Al poured it on, landing 66 times in all, but he couldn’t put his plucky foe away, though he dominated, 24-7. Infinity sat in disbelief!

The 2^nd round was déjà vu, all over again, as a tired Arthur absorbed a barrage of jabs, hooks and crosses. He rallied briefly, but 59 punches took their toll, and his left eye was swelling as the bell sounded, saving him in a 21-6 debacle

!

Johnny came out for the 3^rd with his hands low. This round he was able to generate some offense, landing 14 crosses, but his eye was more swollen. He might have taken the round, 12-11, but still was far the worse for wear! The 4^th was a dull round, 6-6, Arthur firing and missing, blue a bit tired from all the punches he had been throwing – and landing!

After a first minute of inactivity in the 5^th, Lewis hurt Arthur, alas with a low blow. He peppered Johnny’s face with crosses, and now the swelling was downright ugly. Blue won big, 11-4, and was in the catbird’s seat at the halfway point.

Lewis picked up a second warning early in the 6^th for holding and hitting. He was landing plenty of legitimate punches, 43 in all, building up a 13-5 advantage, while Arthur’s eye was swelling to bad proportions. That all changed when an exhausted Arthur put everything behind a desperation cross and it exploded home, causing Lewis to topple

! Al got to one knee, then stood, alas a second after the count of 10. Johnny Arthur had come from behind, winning on a KO at 2:34 of the 6^th!>>

Johnny had been taking a beating, being outlanded, 250-120. Neither fighter landed a power shot from the 2^nd through 5^th rounds, but Arthur’s face showed the cumulative effect of Blue’s pinpoint punching

. A distraught Lewis gamely saluted his foe, then asked for a rematch. Arthur said he’d consider it after the tournament concluded. Infinity was all smiles, though he admitted things had looked bleak for his pick!
