November 7, 1926 -- Detroit's Briggs Stadium: Tony Canzoneri, unbeaten LW prospect goes for his 5th KO win in five bouts tonight against TC opponent Willie Niles, who enters with a perfect (winless) 0-4 record. Needless to say, it's just a question of how long Willie can last.

First round, Canzoneri seizes control, just off target as Niles drifts out of range. Then Tony sneaks in an uppercut to get Niles' attention. A nice combination for Canzoneri, and Niles is on the defensive. Canzoneri follows with another combination and a jab, then he swings and misses going for a big shot. A flurry of blows puts Niles in even more difficult, then Canzoneri connects with a cross. Niles already looks ready to go. Another uppercut scores for Canzoneri. Niles is off target with a return blow. Then Canzoneri works to the head and body. The ref has seen enough, and he steps in to call a halt with just three seconds left in round one. Not much protest from Niles' corner, as he was clearly overmatched in this bout.

Tony Canzoneri will step up to Pre-Prime for his next bout, scheduled for some time in December 1926. He is off to a very promising 5-0 (5) career start, PP total of 383.
