Sharkey Odds Lengthen After Fast Workout
Two events raised the odds on Jack Sharkey in the Flamingo Park bout with Young Stribling. Stribling’s rib injury and Sharkey’s brisk two round session, with sparring partners Johnny Grosso and Paul Hoffman, left Sharkey weighing 199 pounds and poised to win. Dr. Cecil Ferguson treated Stribling as neuritis caused pain but his long-time athletic conditioning could still challenge Sharkey.
