June 21, 1919 -- New York City's St. Nicholas Arena: Mickey Walker, the highly regarded MW prospect, was back in action here tonight in a 6-rounder versus another TC, the hapless Ted Braswell, who enters the bout with a 0-2 record.

First round, Walker comes out strongly, pressing the action with a direct attack to put his opponent on the defensive from the outset. Walker connects with a hard cross, then backs up Braswell with a free-swinging left hand that staggers Braswell, who remains upright. Walker backs up Braswell in a neutral corner, following up with a straight right hand. It looks like Braswell is going to survive the opening stanza when Walker unleashes a powerful salvo of punches near the end of the round. Braswell drops to the canvas and is unable to beat the count.

Walker by KO at 2:55 of the first. Walker's career mark is 3-0 (all 3 by KO, the last two inside round one) with 320 pp. Walker is rapidly becoming a fan favorite with the New York crowds, and obviously he is a fighter to be watched as a possible future MW champ.
