Lightweights Clash in Madison Square Garden Title Bout
The world light heavyweight double title bout at Madison Square Garden pits Sammy Angott and Lew Jenkins after a coast to coast build up. Promoter Mike Jacobs and New York State Athletic Commission oversee the merged challenge with about 11,000 fans expected and ticket sales around 25000. Angott, the road warrior champion, battles the erratic Lew Jenkins in a bout billed as one title fight and a sequel to recent splits of the 135 pound division. Jenkins seeks to rebound from a string of controversy and poor showings while Angott relies on his steady punch and endurance to press for a decisive victory.
