Richie Melito vs Smokin' Bert Cooper

Barely got back to my seat with the drinks before Richie got knocked out. The Taylor's crew was in shock over his quick exit. I remember Jimmy Hayes telling us that he had a big victory party all planned out for Richie back at the bar. Most of the Flushing people left after the fight, but Ace and I stayed for the main bout - Larry Holmes against some kid named Harris out of Philly. Holmes got pounded for 12 rounds, but they gave gave him the decision anyway. The crowd booed and threw garbage into the ring. Another great night for boxing....
