YOU ARE BIDDING ON THE ***ISH ASSASSIN "DAVEY DAY" WITH MANAGER SAM PIAN ARRIVING IN NEW YORK TO FIGHT THE #1 WELTERWEIGHT CONTENDER PEDRO MONTANEZ 1939 MSG. DAVEY DAY IS THE LAST OF THE GREAT ***ISH BOXERS. KNOWN AS THE HUMAN STRING BEAN. IN EXCELLENT PLUS COLLECTIBLE CONDITION, 8" x 10 ". THE ASTUTE MANAGERIAL FIRM OF PIAN AND WINCH (GRABBED) BOUGHT DAYS CONTRACT FROM TONY LAQUORI IN1931. AS HE WAS A REAL THREAT TO BE MATCHED WITH BARNEY ROSS, MAKING DAVEY HIS STABLEMATE. HAVING DAVEY IN THE SAME STABLE GUARANTEED ROSS'S TITLE FROM EVER BEING THREATENED, WHICH INCLUDED DAVEY HIMSELF WHO WAS THE #1 CONTENDER IN THE MIDWEST. EVIDENT OF THAT IS BARNEY NEVER HAD TO DEFEND HIS LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE. HOLDING DAVEY BACK FROM BEING THE LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION. THESE TWO MANAGERS WERE VERY SMART. ALL THE LIGHTWEIGHT & WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION'S FROM 1933 TO 1941 WOULDN'T FIGHT DAVEY. A MASTER BOXER FIGHTER, WHO WAS THE REAL DEAL. "THE BEST OF THE BEST, NOT AN OPINION A FACT". FRANKIE SAGILIO, A MUCH FEARED KNOCK OUT PUNCHER, THREATENED BARNEY ROSS THRONE IN 1934. FRANKIE DEVASTATED THE HARD NUT PETE NEBO, KNOCKING HIM OUT COLD, WHO GAVE ROSS PLENTY OF TROUBLE. HE HAD TO BEAT THE EMACIATED DAY WHO LOOKS LIKE HE'LL DROP DEAD AT ANY MINUTE, TO GET A CRACK AT CHAMPION BARNEY ROSS TITLE. FRANKIE NAILED DAVEY IN THE SECOND ROUND, FLATTER THAN A PANCAKE, AT THE COUNT OF NINE, MIRACULOUSLY DAVEY GOT UP AND FOR THE NEXT FOUR ROUNDS, WEATHERED THE STORM OF SAGILIO'S DYNAMITE FIST. DAY NAILED FRANKIE IN THE SEVENTH ROUND FOR A COUNT OF NINE, FOLLOWED BY COUNTS IN THE 8TH, 9TH AND 10TH ROUND. THE JUDGES RULED IT A DRAW. BARNEY WAS VISIBLY UPSET, HOPING FOR A DAY WIN. NEWSPAPERS WOULD SAY"DAY WAS A PROTEGE OF BARNEY ROSS, STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL PIAN & WINCH WOULD SAY "ROSS WAS A PROTEGE OF MR. DAY". THE WINNER OF THEIR RETURN MATCH, WAS GUARANTEED TO FIGHT ROSS FOR THE TITLE, EXCLUDING DAVEY OF COURSE. DAY'S MANAGERS PIAN & WINCH, ARGUED WITH SAGILIO'S MANAGER OVER THE GLOVES, SAYING THEY WEREN'T RIGHT AND HAD THEM CUSTOM MADE, SIX OUNCE GLOVES AND NOTHING LESS. THAT'S HOW WORRIED THEY WERE OF THIS KID. IF SAGILIO WOULD HAVE WON, BARNEYS TITLE WOULD BE IN SERIOUS DANGER. FORTUNATELY DAVEY BROKE FRANKIE'S HEART BY WINNING A UNANIMOUS DECISION. NOTED, FROM THAT TIME ON DAVEY WAS BARNEYS POLICEMAN, PROTECTORATE OF HIS TITLE. DAVEY DAY WAS KNOWN AS THE FIRST ASSISTANT LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION IN THE WORLD. DAVEY HAD THE CHORE OF HANDLING ALL POTENTIAL CHALLENGERS WHO WANTED A SHOT AT ROSS. YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH DAVEY TO PROVE YOU ARE WORTHY TO BE MATCHED WITH BARNEY, AND NOBODY COULD DO IT. DAY FOUGHT BABY ARIZMENDI, IN AN ELIMINATION BOUT TO SELECT A CHALLENGER TO FIGHT CHAMPION TONY CANZONERI. DAY BADLY CUT UP BABY ARIZMENDI TO RIBBONS, BOTH HIS EYES WERE PRETTY WELL PUFFED UP, WITH CUT, BRUISED FACE, BLEEDING PROFUSELY FROM A DEEP GASH ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF HIS NOSE, THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE THE FIGHT. DAY FINISHED UNSCATHED, NOT A BLEMISH. THE WINNER? WAS ACTUALLY AND STRATEGICALLY, THE LOSER. ARIZMENDI WOUND UP IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM. THE GUY WHO GOT BEATEN UP, WAS DECLARED THE WINNER, DAY NEVER EVEN GOT A SCRATCH, GO FIGURE. DAY WAS ROBBED, THE FANS VIGOROUSLY BOOED THE SPLIT DECISION. "ARIZMENDI WINNER OVER DAY IN DISPUTED BATTLE" BY CLAIR KELLY, SPLIT DECISION, CHICAGO HERALD. THE ILLINOIS BOXING COMMISSION AFTER THE FIGHT STAYED(REMAINED) DAY'S RANKING AS THE #1 LIGHTWEIGHT CONTENDER. DAY WAS SCHEDULED TO FIGHT ARIZMENDI IN A RE-MATCH TO BLOT OUT HIS LOSE, BUT BABY BACKED OUT. I READ THAT SAM PIAN AND ART WINCH (MANAGERS OF THE HOUSE OF ROSSCHILD) HAD OFFERED TO SIGN TWO CONTRACTS FOR MATCHES WITH CANZONERI, SAID TONY'S PILOT, SAM GOLDMAN. "THE FIRST CALLING FOR A DAY-CANZONERI SCRAP AND THE SECOND FOR ROSS-CANZONERI TITLE BOUT WOULD TAKE PLACE ONLY IF TONY BEATS DAY". TONY REFUSED THE OFFER NOT WANTING TO FIGHT DAVEY AND THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF DAVEY'S LONG ROAD TOWARDS A TITLE MATCH. DAY FOUGHT A NON-TITLED MATCH WITH LOU AMBER'S IN 1937, DAY PUMMELED THE CHAMPION SENSELESS IN THE LAST THREE ROUNDS, AND WAS SAVED BY THE BELL OF GETTING KO'ED. DAVEY GOT THE REFEREES NOD, AND ROBBED IN A SPLIT DECISION. IT WAS SAID THAT DAY BROKE THE CHAMPIONS JAW, HIS MANAGER DENIED IT. DAY FINISHED THE FIGHT WITHOUT A MARK. "INTERESTING TIDBIT , DAVEY HELD BACK FROM KNOCKING AMBER'S OUT, AS, IF HE DID, THERE WOULD BE NO POINT IN LETTING HIM FIGHT AMBER'S FOR THE TITLE". DAVEY WAS INTERVIEWED AFTER THE FIGHT BY NELSON ALGREN, "THEY TOSSED HIM THE DUKE - WAIT'LL I AM THE CHAMP THOUGH- I'LL KEEP IT IN MY OLD HOME TOWN, AND THEY'LL BE TOSSING THE DUKE AT ME LIKE THAT TOO- I 'LL BE A HOUSEMAN THAN". LOU AMBER'S WAS TO FIGHT THE WINNER OF THE DAY / VENTURI MATCH, DAY WON AND LOU PASSED ON DAY, FIGHTING VENTURI INSTEAD. READ NELSON ALGREN'S (RENOWN AMERICAN WRITER) COMPLETE INTERVIEW, WITH DAVEY DAY AFTER HIS FIGHT WITH ARMSTRONG IN THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, SEARCH UNDER, * INDUSTRIAL FOLKLORE OF CHICAGO* EIGHT PAGES. ALL THE CHAMPIONS WERE UNDER CONTRACT TO MIKE JACOB'S (OCTOPUS) PROMOTER, 20TH CENTURY BOXING CLUB. HE CONTROLLED ALL BOXING MATCHES IN NY. PICKING WHO (NOT BY MERIT ALONE) HE SAYS, IS THE CHAMPION, AND WON'T LET MR. DAY, TAKE AWAY ANY OF HIS (THEIR) TITLES. THEY ARE HIS GOLDEN GEESE. THE NY BOXING COMMISSION WAS PART AND PARCEL OF UNCLE MIKES EMPIRE AND PROTECTED ALL OF THEM, FROM MR. DAY. ARMSTRONG WAS TO FIGHT THE WINNER OF THE DAVEY DAY - PEDRO MONTANEZ 10 ROUND ELIMINATION BOUT FOR THE WELTERWEIGHT TITLE. DAVEY STOPPED MONTANEZ IN THE 8TH RD. VIA A SEVERE GASHED EYE, SENDING HIM TO THE HOSPITAL, DAY WAS UNMARKED. JOE JACOB'S MANAGER OF MAX SCHMELING SAW THE DAY & MONTANEZ , AND SAID,"DAY IS A SMART BOY HE CHURNS HIS PUNCHES IN PEDRO'S EYE". MOST OF THE NEW YORK SPORTS WRITERS HEADLINE ARTICLES WERE BIASED SAYING, " MONTANEZ WAS BEATING DAY WITH HARD BODY PUNCHES AND WAS AHEAD WHEN THE REFEREE STOPPED THE FIGHT". THE NEWSPAPERS (PR) WERE DEVOTED TO MIKE JACOBS "DESPOT" IN BUILDING UP THE GATE FOR MONTANEZ NEXT FIGHT. "I WENT TO DAYS DRESSING ROOM TO SEE FOR MYSELF IF DAY WAS HURT, THERE WASN'T A BRUISE ON HIS BODY, EXCEPT DAVEY'S LEFT ARM BEING CRIMSON (RED) AROUND THE ELBOWS FROM THE PUNISHMENT IT TOOK, SPORTSWRITER, JACK MILEY, NY POST NEWS". ARMSTRONG DUCKED DAVEY ( JACOBS HOUSE CHAMPION) AND FOUGHT ( N.B.A. DID NOT SANCTION THE FIGHT AS A CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH) THE SOFTENED UP PEDRO MONTANEZ ( COMPLIMENTS OF MR. DAY) FOR THE NY VERSION OF THE TITLE. / "IN THE WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT, ARMSTRONG WAS AWARDED A TKO OVER DAVEY". IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FIGHT, HE WAS OFFERED $35,000 TO FIGHT DAY IN A RE-MATCH, AND TURNED IT DOWN, BECAUSE HE KNEW, HE COULDN'T, BEAT DAVEY. SAME SITUATION, WITH LOU AMBER'S, IF HE ( JACOBS WOULD SIGN BOTH OF THEM) THOUGHT HE COULD BEAT DAVEY, HE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT HAVE TURNED DOWN $35,000. THE N.B.A. EDICT DEMANDED CHAMPION LOU AMBER'S TO FIGHT MR. DAY ON MARCH 22ND 1940, OR BE STRIPPED OF HIS TITLE. AMBER'S IGNORED THE N.B.A. RULING TO FIGHT DAVEY, AND LOST HIS TITLE. NEW YORK TIMES QUOTE, " MIKE JACOBS CONTENTION, WAS NOT A PRACTICAL OBJECTIVE TO HAVE DAY FIGHT ANY OF HIS CHAMPIONS". JACOBS RUSHED IN LEW JENKINS A # 3.OR 4 RANKED BUM, TO FIGHT AMBER'S FOR THE NEW YORK VERSION OF THE LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE. AL WEILL WAS LOU AMBER'S MANAGER AND CONFIDANT OF MIKE JACOB'S. INCIDENTALLY, HE WAS ALSO, ROCKY MARCIANO'S MANAGER. LEW JENKIN'S MANAGER WAS HYMIE CAPLAN. AL WEILL, CALLED OUT CAPLIN, "TELLING HIM THAT HE SHOULD FIGHT DAVEY DAY FIRST, AND HIS ANSWER WAS, WE FIGHT BETTER AT NIGHT, THAN BY DAY. DAVEY WAS THE #1. LIGHTWEIGHT AND WELTERWEIGHT CONTENDER, AND NEITHER OF THESE TWO GREAT CHAMPIONS WERE SERVED TO MR. DAY. THIS IS WHEN THE N.B.A. AND THE NY STATE ATHLETIC COMMISSION SPLIT THEIR RECOGNITION OF THE LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE. NY COMMISSION IN DOING SO, SAID, "DAY WAS NOT A LIGHTWEIGHT", AS HE'S BEEN CAMPAIGNING IN THE WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION. DAVEY WAS A NATURAL LIGHTWEIGHT AND FOUGHT ANY CHALLENGER LIGHTWEIGHT OR WELTERWEIGHT. ON MAY 3RD 1940 THE N.B.A. PICKED SAMMY ANGOTT RANKED #2 TO FIGHT DAY, WHO CAME IN AT 134 LBS. FOR THE WORLD LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE IN LOUISVILLE. THE FIGHT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR CHICAGO AND WOULD HAVE DRAWN A BIGGER GATE, WITH JUDGES. JACK DEMPSEY WAS SUDDENLY ELECTED TO BE THE SOLE REFEREE AND JUDGE, SHELVING THE JUDGE TEAM, COURTESY OF THE KY. BOXING COMMISSION. HONEST CHARLEY JONES BANKER AND MANAGER OF SAMMY ANGOTT, PAID ALL OF DEMPSEY'S EXPENSES, INCLUDING HIS REGULAR FEE OF $7,500.TO DO A HATCHET JOB ON DAVEY. DAY WAS THE 8/5 FAVORITE, AS HE PREVIOUSLY BEAT ANGOTT IN 12 ROUNDS. DAY'S PURSE WAS $5000.00. JACK DEMPSEY, WAS NOTED AS A RENOWNED GAMBLER, BLACK LISTED, AND PROHIBITED FROM OFFICIATING IN THE BYLAWS OF THE KY. BOXING COMMISSION, IN KEEPING WITH FAIR AND HONEST DECISIONS. "WITH THEIR EYES WIDE SHUT" ALLOWED DEMPSEY TO PICK THE N.B.A. WORLD LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION. DAYS OWN MANAGERS DID NOT PROTEST THE RULING. BEFORE THE FIGHT DAYS MANAGERS, TOLD DAY "HE IS ON OUR SIDE". DAY SAID, "DEMPSEY AIN'T RIGHT". HIS OWN MANAGERS WERE COMPLICIT IN THE SCAM. DEMPSEY MADE SAMMY ANGOTT THE WINNER BY ONE POINT, COSTING DAY A MILLION DOLLARS. IF THEY WANTED AN HONEST JUDGE, THEY SHOULD HAVE GOT GENE TUNNEY. JOHN LARDNER, SYNDICATED NEW YORK SPORTSWRITER, ONE YEAR (1941) AFTER THE LOUISVILLE RIP-OFF, WROTE,"THREE WITNESSES BLABBED". MIKE JACOBS THE NEW YORK BOXING DESPOT COULDN'T BUY DAYS CONTRACT, THUS, SHUNNING HIM FROM FIGHTING IN NEW YORK WITH JENKINS, ZIVIC & CANZONERI. THE ILLINOIS BOXING COMMISSION IN 1935, WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE , TONY CANZONERI, AS LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION UNTIL HE BEATS DAY. DAVEY CUT UP FRITZI ZIVIC IN THE AMATEURS, AND FRITZIE'S BROTHERS WANTED TO BEAT DAVEY UP AFTER THE FIGHT. BARNEY ROSS, WAS DAVEYS STABLEMATE, (FROM 1931 TO 1938) WANTED TO BUY OUT DAVEY'S CONTRACT FROM PIAN & WINCH, THAT WOULD SEAL IT FOR GOOD, HE WOULDN'T, HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. BARNEY ROSS WAS A VERY FORTUNATE FELLOW TO HAVE DAVEY AS HIS STABLEMATE. ROSS SAID, "NOBODY IN THE WORLD COULD BEAT DAVEY, EXCEPT ARMSTRONG"....., SURE WITH THE REFEREE'S HELP! DAY COULD DO ALL THE THINGS, ROSS COULDN'T DO AGAINST ARMSTRONG. ARMSTRONG, AMBERS, MONTANEZ AND TONY IN A 3RD FIGHT TRILOGY MATCH WANTED TO FIGHT ROSS, FROM 1935 TO 1938. AND WOULDN'T FIGHT DAY, FOR A SHOT AT ROSS. ARMSTRONG GOT HIS WISH, JUMPING FROM FEATHERWEIGHT TO WELTERWEIGHT, BYPASSING MR. DAY, TO MEET ROSS FOR THE TITLE , AND A BIG PAYDAY. ARCH WARD CHICAGO TRIBUNE SAID, "THE ONLY TWO FIGHTERS THAT CAN KNOCK YOU OUT WITH A SIX INCH PUNCH WAS JOE LOUIS AND DAVEY DAY". IN THE ARMSTRONG VS. DAY WELTERWEIGHT TITLE ON MARCH 31, 1939, BOTH COMBATANTS WERE LIGHTWEIGHTS. DAY SIGNED TO COME IN AT 136 LB. TO PROTECT HENRY'S LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE. THE REFEREE STOPPED THE FIGHT TO PREVENT ARMSTRONG FROM LOSING, WITH 12 SECONDS LEFT IN THE 12TH RD. THE REF. LOOKED AT ARMSTRONG'S BLOODIED FACE IN WONDERMENT, WHERE HE GOT HIS SUPER HUMAN STAMINA FROM, AND SAID " YOU CAN REST NOW" AS HE CHECKED HIS COUNT AS DAY WAS GETTING UP FROM A PUNCH TO HIS (BLIND RIGHT SIDE) KIDNEYS, THAT HE COULDN'T SEE COMING. THE REFEREE, PUT HIS ARM AROUND DAYS SHOULDER AND WALKED HIM TO HIS CORNER. JOHN LARDNER SYNDICATED NEW YORK TIMES SPORTSWRITER, SAID, "ARMSTRONG TOOK A FULL HOUSE OF VITAMINS A TO Z , TO BEAT DAY. AFTER THE FIGHT, THE REFEREE, BILLY CAVANAUGH, SAID, HE HAS NEVER SEEN ANY FIGHTER, THROW AS MANY PUNCHES AS DID ARMSTRONG IN THIS FIGHT. DAVEY SAID, "ARMSTRONG, WAS READY TO COLLAPSE FROM SHEER EXHAUSTION. ARMSTRONG WAS HELPED OUT OF THE RING STILL WEARING HIS CROWN. IT WAS REPORTED, THAT ARMSTRONG THREW 2000 PUNCHES IN 12 RDS. THE (HOUSE) REFEREE COULD HAVE TAKEN MANY ROUNDS AWAY FROM ARMSTRONG. IN THE 11TH ROUND ARMSTRONG CAME OUT HITTING DAY FOUR TIMES SOUTH OF THE BORDER. ARMSTRONG DIDN'T GET AWAY WITH THAT IN HIS FIGHT WITH AMBER'S IN LOSING FIVE ROUNDS FOR LOW BLOWS. DAVEY'S RIGHT EYE WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED SHUT FROM THE 6TH RD AND HIS LEFT EYE WAS JUST A SQUINT/SLIT 80% CLOSED. FIGHTING ARMSTRONG, VIRTUALLY BLIND HALF OF THE FIGHT AND BEATING HIM! ARMSTRONG CLOSED DAVEY'S EYES, NOT FROM HIS PUNCHES, BUT FROM (THROWING LOOPING PUNCHES) HIS ELBOWS, HITTING DAYS EYES. ARMSTRONG HIT DAY SEVERAL TIMES BELOW THE WAIST, AND HAD TWO ROUNDS TAKEN AWAY, GETTING AWAY WITH THE REST. DAVEY WAS STILL VERY DANGEROUS, EVEN THOUGH HANDICAPPED, HE TOOK THE LEAD AWAY FROM ARMSTRONG IN THE 7TH RD. IN THE 8TH ROUND, DAY CUT OPEN HENRY'S LEFT EYE SERIOUS ENOUGH TO CALL IN THE COMMISSION DOCTOR TO EXAMINE THE BLOODY GASHED EYE. THE DOCTOR WOULDN'T DARE STOP THE FIGHT OUT OF FEAR OF GETTING KILLED, WHEN HE COULD HAVE MADE DAY THE CHAMPION. ARMSTRONG FOR THE FIRST TIME, SUFFERED A DEEP GASHED EYE LID, REQUIRING FOUR STITCHES, A BROKEN RIGHT HAND PLACED IN A CAST, HIS LEFT HAND WAS BADLY BRUISED, CUT LIP, BRUISED AND BLOODIED FACE, LEFT SIDE WAS CHOPPED UP LIKE RAW MEAT. DAY GAVE ARMSTRONG A TERRIBLE BEATING IN LOSING THE FIGHT. DAY PROVED THAT ARMSTRONG WASN'T INDESTRUCTIBLE OR INVINCIBLE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IN HIS PRIME THAT ARMSTRONG GOT A SERIOUS BEAT DOWN.. HENRY IN HIS DRESSING QUARTERS WAS JUBILANT AND TOLD HIS MANAGER EDDIE MEAD, "THAT WAS AN EASY FIGHT, DAY NEVER HURT ME", EDDIE SAID, "HAVE YOU LOOKED IN THE MIRROR YET". DAVEY WENT HOME WITH A BRUISED RIGHT EYE. THREE WEEKS LATER IN LONDON, ARMSTRONG WAS TO FIGHT ERNIE RODERICK HIS MANAGER EDDIE, INSISTED THAT HENRY HAVE TWO OR THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT OF GAUZE ON HIS HANDS OR HE WON'T FIGHT. THIS ACTUALLY GAVE ARMSTRONG A BIG ( CLUB LIKE PUNCHES) ADVANTAGE, AS HE CAN HIT MUCH HARDER, FELT LIKE YOU'RE BEING HIT A WITH BRICK. RODERICK, MAY HAVE DECIDED TO DO THE SAME. THEIR GLOVES WERE NOT SIX OUNCES, EITHER. DAY HIT HARDER THAN ARMSTRONG AND COULD PARALYZE YOU WITH ONE PUNCH. DAY SAID, "ARMSTRONG DID NOT HIT HARD, HE JUST HIT OFTEN, NEVER STOPPING". JOE JACOB'S (NOT MIKE) MANAGER OF CHAMPION MAX SCHMELING OFFERED PIAN AND WINCH $7,500 IN 1934 FOR DAVEY'S CONTRACT, SAYING,"YOU CAN'T DO DAVEY ANY GOOD, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT CHAMPION BARNEY ROSS". PREVENTING DAVEY FROM BEING CHAMPION. JOE JACOBS WOULD HAVE MATCHED DAVEY AGAINST BARNEY. PIAN AND WINCH, WEREN'T THAT DUMB. THEY KEPT DAY AS THEIR SECURITY BLANKET FOR BARNEY. DAVEY WAS BARNEY'S (POLICE DOG) BODYGUARD, YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH (BEATING ) HIM TO GET A SHOT AT BARNEY'S TITLE, AND NOBODY COULD DO IT. THE GREAT CHAMPION JIMMY MCLARNIN SAID, "DAVEY DAY WOULD OF BEEN CHAMPION, IF HE WASN'T IN THE SAME STABLE WITH ROSS". SPORTS WRITER MILEY, NY NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS (not included make copies for info)TELLS IT LIKE IT WAS FOR DAY, BEING A TOTAL NIGHTMARE TO THE NEW YORK MONOPOLY OF PROMOTER MIKE JACOBS. DAY ON 1/10/ 41 KO'd. NICK CASTIGLIONE IN 37 SECONDS, INCLUDING THE COUNT OF THE FIRST ROUND. NEWSPAPER,"DAVEY WANTS JENKINS". SUGAR RAY ROBINSON KO'd. NICK IN 1:21 SECONDS OF FIRST ROUND. DAY CUT UP BILLY MARQUART. NEWSPAPER, "DAY WANTS FRITZIE ZIVIC NEXT". WHAT FIGHTER CAN YOU NAME , THAT HAD OVER 300 FIGHTS AMATEUR / PRO (10,000 a low est. punches that didn't do it) AND NEVER SUFFERED A CUT EYE. HIS NAME IS DAVEY DAY, THE "REAL" UNCROWNED CHAMPION, YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK. OH, BY THE WAY, DAVEY WOULDN'T EVEN TAKE AN ASPIRIN!! LET ALONE, VITAMINS? THAT'S WHAT THE NEW YORK SPORTSWRITERS CALLED THEM, BUT NOT IN LONDON! A YOUNG 19 YEAR OLD WAS CRUISING THROUGH THE LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION IN 1941 BY THE NAME OF SUGAR RAY ROBINSON. HE WAS SCHEDULED TO FIGHT DAY, AND CANCELED, HAVING BOB WILDCAT MONTGOMERY, SUBSTITUTE FOR HIM. BOB WON IN THE IST ROUND. DAY DIDN'T HAVE A FIGHT EIGHT MONTHS PRIOR TO MONTGOMERY. CASE CLOSED. EVERYTHING STATED IS 100% TRUE AND VERIFIABLE. DURAN WOULDN'T LAST THREE ROUNDS AS A LIGHTWIGHT/WELTERWEGHT CHECK OUT OTHER PIC ON EBAY EACH HAS MORE (NARRATIVE) ARTICLES ON DAY, INCLUDING THE LOUISVILLE CHAMPIONSHIP RIPOFF, WITH SAMMY ANGOTT. HOOKS AND JABS SPORTS COLUMN IN THE 30'S SAID, "DAY IS A GREAT BOXER AND A GREAT FIGHTER, WHO CAN BEAT ANYBODY". LOOK AT THREE OTHER PIC.LISTED CONTAINING MORE DATA. ALL BOXING MEMORABILIA FROM THE GOLDEN AGE OF BOXING IS A SOLID INVESTMENT AND CAN ONLY GO UP IN VALUE. ALL QUESTIONS WELCOMED. "Save me for more pictures on Davey Day Keep your chin down and your ass off the canvas. "THAT'S ALL FOLK'S!"

Shameless!
I'm just telling you what Wills and Jeannette said in a reunion interview.
From before JL to Dempsey , fights in general had political opposition.
JJOHNSON spent 3 yrs in France that overlapped with their visits. The French finally stripped him of the title that Sam and Joe fought for, probably the best fight of that era.Comment

Yes, you are shamless. I banned you from my Dempsey thread because you got butthurt with my facts and wouldn't address any of them like a coward. The only thing you offered was insults when I told everyone to keep it above board. But since your feelings were hurt from facts, you couldn't follow directions.Originally posted by QueensburyRules View Post
If you'd like to revisit that, then feel free to bring up the topic here, there, or anywhere and when you get smashed on again, drag your glue huffing ass offliine. Deal?
I wouldn't expect anything less from you. Trying to twist getting "banned" as a personal victory when you know full well your posts offered nothing but the cries of a fanatic who just found out his hero was not the man he thought he was. Sorry I crushed your world, kid. But again, if you'd like me to open up those old wounds, I'm here for you, son. I double dog dare ya.
And I'm just showing you proof that it's bullshlt. It's right in front of your eyes. So stop being a lying piece of shlt and pay respect where respect is due. What you are doing is cowardly. The great Jack Johnson dealt with enough while alive. His memory doesn't deserve you besmirching his name based on verified lies, coward.Originally posted by QueensburyRules View Post
Do you still deny that he had a fight lined up with Jeannette in New York City that was pulled by the commission? Do you still deny that he had fights planned for Langford and McVey that were pulled from him right after that Mann Act bullshlt went down? Yes, all AFTER he became champion.
What's your answer, Queenie?
