''Mickey Walker with Joe Reichler, “The Toy Bulldog and His Times”:''<br />
<br />
The fight took place in Newark in 1920. Cohen was a knockout king in his own right and the fight was a slam-bang affair. Benny wasn’t letting his chance at the lightweight crown go to an Irishman–not without giving it all he had, anyway. We were both on the floor a couple of times. Cohen knew how to handle himself and he could hit, too. At first I thought he’d brought a hatchet into the ring with him, but then I saw that my left hook was doing as much damage as his right. We were hitting like sledge hammers, like pile drivers. The fans were standing on their seats.<br />
<br />
The newspapers gave me the decision–unanimously. I got a five-hundred-dollar purse, the most money I had ever earned for one fight up to that time. It seemed like a million dollars.</div>El Intocable
