Who Will Win
Heavyweight out
(Continued from Page One)
man from Camden, N. J.. and 27
year-old Charles, unmarried Cin
cinnati slugger who has lost only
four times in eight years, are ex
pected to enter the ring at odds of
abou! 6-5, take your pick.
A definite swing to Walcott has
been reported with the present
odds dropping from 7-5 to 13-10
for Ezzy, indicating Jersey Joe’s
late support probably will send
the two Negro heavies together at
even money.
Charles’ comparative youth is
being upheld by his backers as his
most decisive edge. Those who fa
vor Walcott like his weight ad
vantage of 195 pounds to Ezzy’s
180.
Walcott’s only fighting in the
last year has been done in exhibi
tions. Charles has been busy leav
ing the light-heavy ranks which
he dominated to knockout such
200-pounders as Joe Baksi and
Johnny Haynes.
The big question seems to be
whether the aging Wolcott, who
has diligently done 300 miles of
road work and nearly 130 rounds
of sparring in preparing for his
third crack at the heavyweight
bauble, has enough gas to last 15
rounds in case there is no earlier
kayo.
