UTAHN IS NEXT CHAMPION Tunney Toasts Layne After Wild Win Over Satterfield By HACK MILLER Deseret News Sports Editor NEW YORK You can tell em out in your country that this is the greatest fight Ive ever seen and that Layne is the next heavyweight champion of the world. Thats what Gene Tunney yelled in my ear while he and thousands of others were on their feet cheering Rex Layne for his eightround TKO over cagey Bob Satterfield in Madison Square Garden Friday night. There is more heart in that man than Ive ever seen in any human being, Tunney said. Hes great great (exclamation point) Tunney sat right behind me at the Garden ringside and if ever a man became het up over a fight he was that man. But more about Tunney later. Rex tagged Satterfield with a heavy right cross that smeared the clever Negro on the canvas with about 18 seconds left in the eighth. Until that time it was Satterfields fight, Rex having been knocked down almost beaten in the first round with a flurry of hard head blows. He came back as a gallant as anything weve ever seen in sports, fought it out and then landed a counting blown that sent Satterfield bleeding and writhing on the mat. Satterfield flat on his back, took eight, rose on his elbow at nine and staggered to the ropes. Layne moved in for the kill, hit Satterfield twice more as the latter just gazed into oblivion. Referee Mark Conn rushed in and jerked Layne off. Satterfields eyes were glazed. He made no objection to the decision. And Conn was right in stopping it. He didnt know there were but four seconds left in the round. He had his work to do and did it. The house, and particularly the press men were stunned. Layne, who had taken a terrific beating by the dangerous Satterfield had dumped the favorite as most of the press people though he would if he could land a good one. New York can say what it wants about the Walcott and Brion fights, but this one goes in golden print on the books. Saturday Marv Jensen will meet with Al Weill, matchmaker for the IBC, and stake his claim for a bout with Ezzard Charles for the heavyweight championship. And he should be able to get it. I have been invited in on the session. Tunney, hubbed with a cluster of boxing greats, couldnt say enough for Layne. After Satterfield had buckled Laynes knees in the first round Tunney kept screaming for Layne to keep up is left. If Rex can live off that attack hell win the title, Gene told us. Layne is outmatched in this fight hes against one of the worlds best in any weight. His heart will win for him if he wins at all. And he won with a heart. Satterfield showed plenty of respect for Rex starting with the second. Rex hammered him heavily and drew blood from his mouth and then his nose. The seventh round was out of this world. With a minute to go Satterfield caught Layne with a flurry of hard fists to the head. Layne staggered and met it with one of the most ferocious attacks on record. The crowd stood and cheered and Tunney yelled over to Sonja Henie and Jim Farley , sitting nearby, Im going to blow a fuse if this keeps up. He almost did. Satterfield was 75 favorite and his one of the best. On West we underrated the guy. Back here everyone who seemed to know said that Layne had no business fighting that much experience and talent. And I, for one, hope that Layne doesnt have to fight him again. Saturday night Rex Layne the farm lad from Lewiston, Utah, is the toast of old New York.
