Speary - Davis Bout feature At AllentownCoal region Battlers to Meet First Time as Pros
Eastern Pennsylvania's most important fistic event for the current outdoor season is scheduled for next Monday night, July 29, at the Allentown Fair Grounds. It will bring together Billy Speary, Nanticoke, and Billy Davis, Minersville, in an eight round contest. Less than 12 months ago, both Speary and Davis turned professional. They've not box each other since that last three round thriller in the Allentown arena. However, their careers run parallel in that each remains undefeated as a professional. The victory over Eddie O'Leary last week was Speary's 17th straight. In his last bout, Davis knocked out Steve Yuhaas in five rounds. Conditions for the Allentown match call for the boxers to weigh in at 133 pounds at 3:00 in the afternoon. Speary, a legitimate featherweight, will weigh in six or seven pounds under that figure. Davis, a small lightweight will come in under the poundage and retain his best fighting form.
