Danny Martin survived his severe head injury in his fight against Tommy Bell on October 28, 1948. On December 22, 1948, the 22-year-old accepted a check and gifts from committee members who ran a smoker for his benefit. Martin, still showing the effects of severe head injuries, returned home immediately after the presentation. He advocated for thorough medical examinations every three months for all fighters and closer supervision of the sport by the commissions. [Providence Journal]
