McLarnin Mandell Title Bout Postponed By Weather
For the second time in years Tex Rickard postpones Jimmy McLarnin versus Sammy Mandell for the lightweight crown. The 15 round bout is moved to tomorrow night at the Polo Grounds due to threatening skies after weigh in. Both fighters weighed near limits with Mandell at 135 pounds and McLarnin just under 134.
