LaMotta and Murphy Clash in Yankee Stadium Scrap
New York reports Jake LaMotta and Irish Bobby Murphy, two seasoned fighters, meet in a 12 round outdoor bout at Yankee Stadium. Murphy, favored at 6 to 5, seeks a title shot with Joey Maxim while fans expect a hard fought shore leave brawl. Forecasts call for warm weather but no TV coverage may depress ticket sales. The IB C projects 25,000 to 30,000 fans and about $200,000 gate with an additional $15,000 for its cut across eight cities. This is La Motta’s first fight since the Sugar Ray Robinson beating in Chicago on February 14. If rain interrupts, the show moves to Thursday.
