Using a sharp left hook as the clincher, Phil
Zwick made his pugilistic “comeback” a roaring success with a knockout victory
over Ronnie Cannon in 50 seconds of the fourth round last Thursday night in
Oshkosh. Zwick weighted 125, Cannon, 128, for the scheduled ten round affair, attended
by a packed house of wildly cheering fans. One of the biggest sports stories of
the year was the "never say die" attitude of Kaukauna famed boxer
Phil Zwick, who, on three occasions this year, stepped into the ring to prove
that he is not through as a boxer. In spite of the fact that he suffered what
can justly be called the worst defeat of his colorful boxing career, and even
though some have labeled him as the "old man from Kaukauna", Zwick
being over 40, no true boxing fan, including the "big-wigs" in the
profession can dare say that the much traveled veteran is "washed
up." Zwick registered a number of knockouts himself, showing nothing less
than the brilliance he displayed years ago, when he traveled around the world
fighting bouts, and usually winning, against champions of other nations. Phil
Zwick isn't about to hang up the gloves yet.
