Davey Day must have been really truly one of the greatest, and most fan fans of present, haven't got a clue how good he was! He had over 250 fights, amateur/pro and never suffered a cut. Armstrong refused to fight him in a rematch, as Davey cut Hank up severely in their first fight, and had to be ca...

There is one great boxer, that was over shadowed by Barney Ross, his stable mate DAVEY DAY, was the gangling watch dog for Champion Barney Ross, who didn't have to protect his lightweight title for nearly years, because you had to beat Dovey first to get a shot Ross. Pian & Winch managers of the...

Jack Dempsey, said, "They don'want Joe Louis to lose, picking who he can fight." He was referring to Uncle Mike Jacobs., who controlled all Championship fights in NY. Which includes, Henry Armstrong and Lou Amber's, just to mention a few of his house champions. Jacobs held the lease on MSG...

What Champion's lightweight to heavyweight never entered in the Golden Gloves when it started?

If I missed something, please add it. Thank you.

He joined the marines and was sent to Korea. He had four pro fights in seven years.

The greatest Amateur Boxer of All Time with 343 wins and 2 loses. RICHARD (DICK) GUERRERO. He beat Floyd Patterson handily. How many of you have ever seen him fight. A very humble guy, you ever met.

He was plenty good and plenty smart. I erred in mentioning ( 1939) Sugar Ray Robinson dodged Davey Day, it was October 10th 1940. Davey Day was robbed in Louisville, Jack Dempsey was the soul referee and judge in the:Lightweight Championship fight with Sammy Angott. Charlie Jones Angott's manager pa...

There is no doubt about it, he was Great and smart. He was scheduled to fight Davey Day October 1939 in his cleaning up of the top lightweights, and canceled his fight with Davey, having Bob Montgomery substituting on that date with Mr. Day.

Just for the record, it's noted that Henry Armstrong, hit Davey Day south of the border, numerous times in every round, Armstrong came out in the 11th round, hitting Davey five times in the ball zone, and did everything else to beat Day. Davey Day fought Armstrong half of the fight blind (closed shu...

No, not even close, Davey fought Bobby (real tough guy) Pacho in 1935 and wasn't cut. However, Pacho did cut up Barney Ross his stablemate, verified (2/22/1935 newspapers.

Just a little. Thanks.

I didn't know the part about Earl Mastro, thanks. Davey lived at 97th Ridgeland, Oak Lawn. The Luggage Shop was a great hang out, we had great card games in the back of the store. We use to go to Oak Lawn Restaurant a lot with Tony and wife Philomena Gianfrancisco Zale, who played in the Women's All...

Bulls eye, you are 100% correct, I am his son. All the information on Davey Day has not been fairly mentioned in Boxing History. I've met Willie Pep, Sammy Angott, Lou Ambers, Eddie Perkins, Johnny Coulon, Jack Lamotta,, Jackie Fields, L eo Rodak, Nae Bolden, Barney Ross, Tony Zale, Joey Giardello, ...

By Jack Miley, Sports writer for the New York Daily News, New York Post 5/24/1939. Day, Looking Like Fugitive From Oxygen Tent, Needs No Sympathy. A scrawny, knobby-kneed youth, did better than fair for himself in the Garden last evening. And if Henry Armstrong or Lou Ambers, wish to make anything o...

On the subject of Davey Day never suffered a cut eye, taken from his interview with Nelson Algren 4/39 after his fight with Armstrong. Here is the snippet of that interview; "I never got a cut eye in my life, but in that twelfth Rd. I was prayin' He'd slice that eye wide open on me then I'd a b...

Davey, won the 1931 Central A.A.U Featherweight Title, lustily beating Fritzie Zivic. Went on to the the finals in the (A.A.U) National Amateur Athletic Union Tournament in New York, losing a close decision for the Championship to Tony Scarpati , a local boy. The astute firm of Sam Pian and Art Winc...

Controversial, much appreciated. 'You ain't heard nothing yet' Thank you. Box Buzz, glad to hear you made it through without suffering a cut, quite a feat. Congratulations. Milos, you're fascinating to talk to on this interesting eye (not cut) opening topic. By the way , how would you rate, Ernie Ro...

IT CERTAINLY DOES STAND OUT, MUCH EASIER TO SEE AND READ. I COULD NOT HAVE WRITTEN THIS EXTENSIVE NARRATIVE IN DIMINUTIVE LETTERS (CRAMMING ) IN TIGHT SPACE. SORRY YOU TOOK IT THAT WAY. "HAVE A NICE DAY".

HE WAS THE #1 LIGHTWEIGHT AND WELTERWEIGHT CONTENDER. HE FOUGHT HENRY ARMSTRONG IN PLACE OF PEDRO MONTANEZ WHO BACKED OUT TEN DAYS BEFORE THE FIGHT FOR THE WEL. TITLE. BOTH COMBATANTS WERE LIGHT WEIGHTS, ARMSTRONG DIDN'T WANT TO RISK HIS LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE. ARMSTRONG WON THE FIGHT VIA A TKO 2:49 IN T...

DAVEY DAY VS. ROBERTO DURAN AS LIGHTWEIGHTS / WELTERWEIGHTS. DAY WAS THE GUY THAT NO CHAMPIONS WANTED TO FIGHT, OUT OF FEAR THEY'D GET KO. OR CUT UP. 'DAVEY DAY VS. HENRY ARMSTRONG' AND LOU AMBER'S PICTURES ARE ON EBAY WITH GREAT STORY OF FIGHTS AND ALL THE CHAMPIONS IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF BOXING. WAN...

I can't be sure, nor can you say any of these fighters never suffered a cut. I positively know and verified of one fighter that holds this title of never being cut. Walter Winchell New York syndicated journalist, newspaper and radio gossip reporter, associate of Damon Runyon, said "THE FORGOTTE...

There is one absolutely true story of the Golden Age of Boxing 1931 - 1941 of lightweight Champions who were all controlled by Uncle Mike Jacobs in New York. Tony Canzoneri, Henry Armstrong, Lou Amber's, Lew Jenkins, Fritzie Zivic and their # 1 nemesis who threatened all of Jacobs house Champions, D...

Zivic was a choirboy compared to Henry Armstrong who would hit you in the balls (unintentionally) every round, and used his elbows when looping them right hand punches.
