his bout here with LaMotta.
And. there's reason 10 believe
that ferocious LaMotta means 10

the Sugar kid. LaMotta asked
for Robinson. II was a special
request. because LaMotta wants
10 wipe out decision Robinson
holds over him and he is quite
confident he can do same.
Anyway there was a lot OF
long distance talking between
Detroit and New York over the
weekend. Nick talking to
George Gainsford, Robinson $
manager, Robinson himself and
Mike Capriano, LaMotta's man
ager.
Then Jacobs finally came into
the picture and he and Londes

Jacobs withdrew gracefully and
the big match is on. II is sure 10

cobs naturally wasn't too pleased
over having Sugar fighting tough
customer like LaMotta. The pair
met once before-that time in the
Garden for Mike - and although
Robinson got the decision il was
only after he had pecked out an
early lead on points, which he
protected by back-pedaling in the
late rounds. according 10 the New
York scribes.
Robinson is due to 60 into the
army February D, so that the
LaMotta and Wilson tits may be
the last for Robinson for the du-
ration. The CONTRACTS call for 16O
pounds and 35 per cent Of the net
receipts for Robinson and 25 pei
cent for LaMotta.
TOPS TO BE SIS
With the LaMotta Charley
Hayes show drawing more thar

Robinson and LaMotta will draw
better than $4,000. Londes an
nounced that Olympia would bt
scaled" at 81 to S., plus tax.
Thus within comparative few
months. Londes has brought De
troit back into the limelight as ;
big time fight center. His frs
show at Olympia, under the new
promotional deal was staged il
September, and drew around SIS,

Robinson's last appearance II
Detroit was last spring when hi
defeated Harvey Dubs. That figh
drew $4,000. Graduated from the
amateurs in 1910, Robinsons rapic
rise has been one of the sensa
Itional stories in the history OF the
ring. Incidentally, Robinson was
