"Mickey Walker, the toy bulldog of the ring, today was a little further along the road leading to a chance at the heavyweight championship of the world. At 31, when most fighters are about washed up, and at a weight disadvantage of 23 pounds, Walker last night got up from the canvas in the Chicago Stadium in the 1st round and slugged his way to a 10 round decision victory over King Levinsky. Near the end of the 1st round a crushing overhand right caught Walker on the head, and as he staggered back, a looping left hook knocked him flat on his back. He didn't even take a count, but bounced to his feet and back into battle. He was so dazed, however, that he wobbled to the King's corner at the end of the session. Levinsky held the advantage until the 5th when Walker began to take charge. He stepped inside Levinsky's right swings, to dig both hands into the King's body and then shoot to the head as Levinsky backed up. In the last half of the battle Levinsky steadily lost steam." -Associated Press
