| Synopsis | Boxer Hogan, his manager Spigot and corner man Blimp sail to Brazil. Spigot is swindled by a gambler on board and loses 50% of Hogan's contract. Hogan offers to fight Brazilian champion Pancho, also a passenger, for charity: if he loses, the gambler owns Hogan's contract outright, but if Hogan wins, Spigot gets his share back. Hogan wins. |

| Content | Genre: Sports | Characters: One Round Hogan; Spigot Barnett; Blimp; Pancho Avilla |
| Notes | One Round Hogan's next appearance is in ZOOT COMICS #8.
"Jo Logan" is the house byline for this feature, probably not a real person. Al Zere is credited with the art on another One Round Hogan story via a JVJ index card attached to the online scanned version of that issue. The art is consistent in virtually all stories featuring this character.
This story ends abruptly but since none of the stories in this issue has a "The End" in the final panel, presumably it is complete. |
