Monitor Index and Democrat, Moberly.Mo 13 July 1939 CONN AND BETTINA FIGHT TONIGHT Winner of Match Might Be the Heavyweight Champ Next Summer NEW YORK, July 13 Billy Conn of Pittsburgh and Melio Bettina of Beacon, N.Y.,. two tough youngsters who fully expect to be plunk m the middle of the heavyweight situation a year from now, clash in a 15-rounder at Madison Square Garden tonight for the country's 175-pound title. Bettina already has been recognized as light heavyweight champion by the New York State Athletic Commission, and the winner of tonight's tussle will get an official nod from the National Boxing Association, making it unanimous. Conn, reigning favorite of New York fans since his two victories over Fred Apostoli and another over Solly Krieger, has been made a firm choice in the betting, with Bettina's admirers receiving 3 to 1 for their money. Conn is the faster and his left hook is the prettiest thing in the ring today. Bettina, squat and sturdy, packs the better punch. Promoter Mike Jacobs has admitted he expects to make more out of Conn in the long run than any of the current "contenders' for Joe Louis heavyweight title.

  • Name: Jim Braddock Career Record: &Cat=Boxer
    Name: Jim Braddock Career Record: http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=012072 &cat=boxer Alias: The Cinderella Man Birth Name: James Walter Braddock Nationality: US American Birthplace: New York, NY, USA Hometown: North Bergen, NJ, USA Born: 1905-06-07 Died: 1974-11-29 Age at Death: 69 Stance: Orthodox Height: 6' 2? Reach: 78 Division: Heavyweight Managers: Alfred M. Barnett; Joe Gould Trainer: Doc Robb Also known as "James J. Braddock" Career Overview Like the man himself, the legacy of Jim Braddock has experienced an unexpected comeback. The popularity of the 2005 motion picture "Cinderella Man" directed by Ron Howard brought his name back into the minds of a general public that had entirely forgotten about him. Though the film romanticized some of the everyman appeal of Braddock’s story, the remarkable tale of his journey from impoverished dock worker to owner of the richest title in sports is entirely true. Overcoming the starvation and destitution of the Depression, chronic injuries to his right hand, and twenty-three professional losses inside of five years through determination and hard work, Braddock’s story represents one of the great aspects of the sport of boxing: its presentation of opportunity to the apparently hopeless and its occasional rewarding of hard work over natural talent. Which is not to say that he lacked talent. Fast and skilled, Jimmy showed skill as a boxing counter puncher. Possessed of a thunderous right hand punch and known as a determined competitor, Braddock suffered just two knockout losses in eighty-six pro outings. On top of that, he fought eight bouts against hall of fame competition and etched himself a place in the hall over a twelve year career.

To date there has been a total of 90,000 feet of 8mm and S8mm requested for transfer, about 8,000 feet of 16mm and 58 hours of VHS duplication requested. I'm surprised that Castle Films is no longer in business. Again, I must express gratitude to those members who took time to write and phone their encourgement over the resumption of the Newsletter. The organization is a joint venture involving all of us. Without the support of the membership, none of this would be possible. -- Long Live Boxing -- I am involved in doing research in the pre-1932 years of the career of Tiger Jack Fox. At the moment there are numerous verifications of main event matches between the years of 1925 and 1932 for him. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. In this Newsletter, Thanks must go to the following gentlemen for their contributions: Tracy Callis, Dave Block, Paul Zabala, Bob Soderman, Lawrence Fielding, John Grasso, John Hibner, and Lucketta Davis. 1 V-1 E I F ID I FzECTOFt "V F" 1J A E NEW MEMBERS Jack Barry 33 Skyline Drive West Haven, CT 06516 Phone (203) 933-6651 Mr. Barry is interested in professional boxing from the bareknuckle era to 1959 in the U.S.A.

They briefly scuffled, and then Dixon fell and did not get up. He was carried home, where he died next day.The surgeon and apothecary opined that cause of death was either skull fracture or neck fracture. Teeling was convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced to branding. (Branding was on the thumb, with an "M" for murder. The idea was that a person could receive the benefit only once.
