"Look, he's only 5 feet 6 inches; just 126 pounds. So he's a hockey nut, good player, too, and goes over to work out with the Black Hawks. He starts swinging at some of the Hawks. You ever seen the size of those guys? Still, he swings at 'em. He has a fighting heart." COACH TRIOLO wanted to disagree.

He said: "Fighting heart? There isn't any such thing. Fighting isn't in the heart; it's in the mind. A fighter doesn't win or lose in the heart, but in his mind. I can go around the Stadium dressing room on Wednesday night, talk to the fellows, and point out the ones who are whipped before they go in the ring. "This kid'll have to be whipped in the ring.

"He has courage, which you can say about lots of fighters. He's a cool head. He's persistent. Look, he was just a novice less than four months ago. Now he has 13 wins in a row, and Wednesday night he goes after the national Golden Gloves championship." Triolo's admiring gaze followed Pe-trprra.
