The sensational Little Ike Brown
bowed and fell under the terrific
five round flashing handed him by
Willie Davis, flashy 100 FOUNDER
from Pine Bluff, last Monday
night. Brown, whose fight was de-
fensive throughout the battle,
tasted canvas six times and was
knocked through the ropes three
times. Gamely, Brown fought back
to keep his coveted top position,
but due to poor handling and evil
dent breaking of training, Browns
fight was a losing one from start
to finish.
In the first round, Brown began
to feel his opponent out for an
opening but his punches lacked the
fire of only few weeks back.
Willie Davis, seeing his opponents
weak spot, flew into Brown with
a series of lefts and rights that
completely baffled the local champ.
Ike Browns attempted come
back in the third bell was sensa-
tional He was a beaten fighter
and could barely hold on. More
than six times the count was put
on the champ, but each time, he
managed to come back at the pre-
inal count.
Experts say that Browns poor
fight could be directly attributed
to lack of training and his obvious
, swell headcdness" and that I'M
less he begins immediate training,
he's through as a fighter. Doc
Jameson, in the meantime, doubt
ing that Brown is "washout,"
has arranged for a return match
between the two fighters.
