Akins went down in the third round of a scheduled six from a left hook that appeared low. When he was unable to continue and seemed semi-paralyzed for several moments, Referee Paul Spic recommended the fight go to Virgil on a below-the-border clout. However, DR. Freedman said evidence showed Akins..." current

Originally Andy Thomas, the socking Manhattan lightweight, was carded to meet Red Cap Wilson, but at the last minute Jimmy Murphy, of Greenwich Village, protégé of Maxey Haugh, was substituted for Wilson. For three rounds the substitute gave Thomas the battle of his life. Time and again Murphy staggere..." current

He is improving with every start, and is really one of the best lightweight prospects around here. He is a bit awkward and has a bit to learn yet, but how he can sock! And let it be said that a sock covers a multitude of shortcomings. Against Daly, last night he forced the milling from the start and as early as the fi..."

The latter lived up to his reputation and got the judges’ decision. The first round was even. Both boys slugged toe to toe for three minutes. It seemed that one or the other must go out. In the third round Thomas was out on his feet. Herman kept after him but could not flatte..." current
