Original poster: "Jeff Dickson presents on December 1, 1928 at the Velodrome d'Hiver, the World Champion, Corporal Izzy Schwartz (world's flyweight champion) VS Milou (Spider) Pladner, champion of France and Europe, in 12 rounds (Uncle Sam on the left and Marianne on the right with their champions), as well as in 12 rounds, Ted Sandwina vs Carl Carter, and in 10 rounds, Carnera vs Barrick. Carnera is the future Italian world champion, who will be pushed and pushed, while his opponent is Constant Barrick from Marseilles. The newspaper "L'Auto" devoted a free supplement to this star fight, with an unprecedented attendance. In his editorial, Desgrange refers to "a beautiful dialogue of agile fists". The Auvergnat Milou Pladner (1906-1980), trained at the ASM, beat the American Izzy (1900-1988) on points, opening the door to a world title three months later. Decisive for the Frenchman (who saves the nation's honor), this evening (7 bouts, 13 ticket prices) will also be decisive for Sandwina (Cartet withdraws in the 8th) and above all for Primo Carnera. The Italian, dragged into a drawing by Firmin Vizet because of his size (2m01) and weight (120 kg), obliterated the Marseillais (only 90 kg) in the 3rd round. for Two slight fold marks. Folded.
