"Shifty John L. Davis, Oakland and California state lightweight champion, today is in line for a crack at Ike Williams' world crown. Davis retained his state bauble last night by handing Art Aragon of Los Angeles a decisive but hard-won whipping in a fight that bristled with action for the full 12 rounds. Davis won by continually crowding Aragon in a style reminiscent of Henry Armstrong. He just kept tossing gloves. What was more, he absorbed all of the Golden Boy's heavy shelling and crowded in for more, keeping up his own leather attack." -Associated Press
