The one-time No. 1 middle
weight contender, handled Riv

comparative ease. He beat his
man repeatedly to the punch,
« scoring with a spearing left
jab and short uppercuts to the
jaw. He also avoided many of
Rivers' shots, taking particular
ly care to see that no heavy
bombs explode on his fragile ,
jaw. When he opened up. he j
displayed a two-fisted attack '
! which he reportedly learned
under the tutelage of former
; heavyweight campaigner Bob
Saterfleld.
From the first round cinwa d
Boyd kept the rushing Rivers off

fight
