Louis Walcott heavyweight clash eyed as likely Louis victory
The piece argues Joe Louis will beat Jersey Joe Walcott in their looming title bout at Madison Square Garden. It notes Louis's slipping form, Walcott's aging, and favors Louis by knockout or decision after a hard-fought defense. The writer predicts a possibly longer bout but expects Louis to prevail and hints it may be his last prime fight.
