ABSTRACT
The fight that Donovan had arranged for Joey with considerable reluctance was held at the Madison Square Garden. It gained importance from the fact that the winner of it would be selected as the next opponent of the lightweight champion. And it drew a huge attendance because in the opinion of several sports writers and the initiate, both men were superior to the champ, who had been sitting on a cushion with his crown between his legs resisting all invitations to risk his title.
