CINemaScoP Casfellani Decisions Johnny Sullivan In Good Garden Fight NEW YORK (UP Middleweight contender Rocky Castellani of Cleveland, who won a unanimous but unpopular decision over England's Johnny Sullivan Friday night, will continue his zigzag campaign for a second shot at the title in another TV radio fight at Cleveland, March 28.

Names of the opponents for Rocky and Johnny will be announced later.

Contenders Milo Savage and Bobby Boyd are mentioned most prominently' as possibilities for Castellani. Sullivan, scaling 161 pounds to Castellani's 159, gave Rocky a body beatjng in the early rounds that sapped some of his speed. But shrewd Rocky, who unexpectedly had taken the offensive in the early rounds, forced Sullivan to do the leading in the second half and he blasted the opened up ex British champion with short "sneaker" rights to the head. Many of the 3,500 fans booed the decision. They thought Sullivan's body attack and hooking combinations to the head had heat en the fifth ranking contender.
