Meanwhile, back in New Jersey ...
We return now to Newark to complete the first round with a pair of bouts at the First Regiment Armory.
In the first bout, Fighting Bob Martin and Floyd Johnson look to settle things after struggling to a draw in their first meeting in the tournament’s opening bout.
In the main event, seventh seed Billy Miske takes on Willie Meehan. Their originally scheduled meeting was delayed when Miske suffered a flare-up of Bright’s Disease and had to be hospitalized.
Two weeks later, Miske insists he is able to fight and is being allowed to continue by the New Jersey commission, to the surprise of no one.
