At the biggest fight ever staged in
This city, Johnny Saxon of Newark,
last night proved himself to be the
first man that could stay more than
two rounds with AL Roberts, the
heavyweight wonder from Staten Is
land. The fight went the full eight
rounds, Saxon being able to secur
the upper-hand in but one of these,
his showing in the second being bet
ter han that of Roberts. The other
seven rounds, however, vas easily
Roberts.
The bout was by far the most excit-
ing and hardest fought of any ever
staged at a Lotos Club affair here,
Barring none. The hall was filled to
capacity early in the night, the sale
of the cheaper seats having been ex-
hausted before 9 o'clock. When the
FIRST preliminary got under way, there
were about / 900 packed into the hall.
As the fights proceeded many more
managed to work their way into a
standing position, where they could
witness the big bout.
Roberts weighed 179 and Saxon 178
for this bout. With the changing of
the gong, Roberts tried to rush Saxon,
thus resorting to his old tactics which
have resulted in so many first round
knock-outs for him. But Saxon, who
had seen Roberts fight before, was on
to AIS game and Immediately started
an offensive of his OWL fighting in
close and thus making it almost i'm
possible for Roberts to connect very
heavily on his body, although many
short jabs to the body and face found
home on the Newark scrapper.
Towards the last half of the first
round Roberts managed to shove
Saxon away SO that he could hand out
some of his favorite punished-straight
right and left jabs. The force of his
blows staggered Saxon who retired to
one corner and grabbed the ropes
with one hand, Roberts. believing
that Saxon was playing a little game
to bring him to him, refused to be
drawn in, and waited for the New
iarker to let go of the ropes. Saxon
was putting hard when the gong rang.
In the second round Saxon evened
up matters with Roberts, he having
this round as much in his favor as
did the islander the first round. Both
mhd were hitting with all their
stfsa 9th and both were pushing the
6EypveG to the limit making it the
geSeIal opinionsthat one or the other
would wear himself out so that the
bout would end before the eighth
round had passed.
The third round found Roberts 60
ing strong again, he knocking Saxon
about the ring almost as If he had
been a punching bag but the game
Newarker was always back for more
and intermittently would and a blow
