I am surprised of all u sports fans. It all comes down to, betting on a fighter, when they win money, that's their golden goose. When they loss money on him he becomes a bum.

No doubt, playing the violin made Jem Mace a Great Champion. He built up his arm strength, reflexes, timing, pen point accuracy of his right hand, and left, and learned, keeping his chin down in his left shoulder. All kids should take up violin lessons, if they want to become great fighters. Start learning when you're ten to fourteen. Begin in Golden gloves.

Jack johnson was "the greatest" no doubt! Emphatically! He'd Ko Joe Louis within two rounds, Ali he'd catch up to in the 8th - 10th round. He was a Master Boxer/Fighter. He'd paw with them and knock them out.

Simple he just hasn't been hit right.

Most of these guys are too young to realize, knowing, anything about Davey Day, except what they read into a boxing record. The point is that Day was Barney Ross stablemate, and policedog from 1934 to 1938. Davey was too good to be his second fiddle, Joe Jacobs manager of Max Schmeling offered Pian & Winch $7,500 to buy Days contract, saying you can't do Davey any good because you have Champion Ross. Day was was the cornerstone of that stable. You had to go through Day to get a crack at Barney, and nobody could do it! Tony Canzoneri Lou Ambers, Pedro Montanez, Henry Armstrong and all others, from 1935 to 1938. Armstrong got his wish, to fight Barney, bypassing Davey to get a big payday (gate) in MSG. Davey did all the things Barney couldn't do to Armstrong. The Exhibit card of Day from 1933 on Ebay isn't the main attraction, it's the context that is mind blowing. Read and have your own opinions. Avitene, vaseline and Dr. bagley, Armstrongs corner cut man. Ray Arcel, Durans manager said, " Davey was a victim of circumstances, and was shunned from fighting Armstrong in a rematch, including, Lou Amber,s who was stripped of his Title for not fighting Day by the N.B.A. on March 22nd 1940. Mike Jacobs the NY Boxing Czar (promoter) was in complete control of all Championship fights, protecting all his Champions from Day. Duran couldn't hit Davey in the ass. Davey Day never suffered a cut eye, in over 300 fights, amateur and pro estimating 10,000 punches couldn't do it. That's why they wouldn't let the Great Sugar Ray Robinson at 19 yrs old to fight Day 1941. A cut eye can ruin any young fighters future.

Davey Day is your man to beat Mayweather and Duran Neither one of these great champions, could hit Davey Day he never suffered a cut. In over 300 fights pro/amateur. He chopped up Armstrong, that a Doctor was called into ring 8th examining Hanks Gashed left eye. If it was a white guy, he would of stopped the fight and Davey would be Wel. Champion and was only a lightweight. Day stopped Pedro Montanez two weeks later, with another gashed eye. Day 137, Pedro was 145-150 lbs. Hardly any fighters that fought Day escaped getting cut up. Baby Arizemendi , got a deep gash across his nose, when you see a pic of him you can see the cut. A young 19 yr. old Sugar Ray Robinson in 1941 was scheduled to fight 30 yr old Day, and Rays manager withdraw for fear that Davey could cut open his eye. Bob Montgomery substituted and KO Day in the first rd. He didn't have a fight for eight months prior, as nobody wanted to fight him.

Armstrong, did not have a powerful punch, he just hit often and never stopped. This was witnessed when he fought Ross who was wide open and didn't knock him out. When he fought Davey Day, he couldn't do that either, meaning No KO. The referee stop the fight to prevent Armstrong from losing. Day was rising with 12 seconds left in the 12th Rd and the ref. check his count at 3 in stopping fight. Armstrong was a Great fighter, but he known for low blows and hitting with his elbows. He hit Day several low blows and it wasn't his punches that closed Daveys eyes. It was his looping punches, that missed and hitting with his elbows. Henry went abroad to fight Ernie Roderick in London, guaranteed $45,000. His manager Eddie Mead demanded that that they use 3 times the limit of gauze on both hands or he won't fight. He got his wish. Armstrong was a well spoken Gentlemen and intelligent. Check out Ebay on Davey Day vintage pictures with lots of info and exhibit card. seller is GOLDSTARSTAMPS.

The cards added up, the judges had it right the first time. I guess the boxing commission stepped in corrected in their favor, so they don't have to pay off on their bets. Also, how do they decide to pay off from the gate and TV coverage for the winner's portion, and now what, is it split? The 36 yr. beat the kid. It is all a racket!
