Canzoneri, Tony (final) Marquart, Billy vs. Beauhuld, Billy Mamakos, Steve vs. Luftspring, Sammy I Davidson, Harry vs. Ferrara, Henry Mauriello, Tami vs. Penn, Ettore (final) Donovan, Arthur (referee) Jacobs, Mike (promoter)
In what proved
to be the swansong of the enduring multiple division world champion Tony
Canzoneri's career (137 (44 KOs) - 23 (0 KOs) - 10), one of the finest of New
York's Italian Stallions took on the fiercesome and indefatigable
"Bummy" Davis, the notorious Brooklyn welterweight, in a
well-promoted bout on a Wednesday in the Garden. Davis, a much
younger talent known for his left hook and undefeated in 35
appearances, put the former world champ on the canvas twice, delivering in the
3rd round of 10 the very 1st knock out, a technical, in Canzoneri's 171st
fight.
In a pair of 8-frame affairs, the Canadian manbeast Billy Marquart
defeated the lightweight Jersey boy Billy Beauhuld after both felt
the floor in the face momentarily, and "The Golden
Greek" Steve Mamakos, up from D.C., summoned Sammy Luftspring, down
from Toronto, to the pillory at the end of their 8. In the short
contests that evening, Brooklyn's Harry Davidson made his fellow citizen Hank Ferrara
the butt of the matter, while the unbowed "Bronx Barkeep" and
future world heavyweight contender Tami Mauriello knocked out the
welterweight Ettore Penn in the 1st round of 4 for his 7th straight victory and
the end of the Italian-born Brooklynite Penn's profession as a
pugilist. |
