Billy Conn Favored in Rubber Match for Middleweight Title
Billy Conn, a rising Pittsburgh stylist, was a 12 to 5 favorite to beat Sally Krieger of Brooklyn in a rubber match for the world middleweight honor at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night. Krieger, world middleweight champion per the NAB A, beat Conn in Pittsburgh last year but Conn reversed it in a return bout. Krieger plans a knockout, while Conn seeks the decision if the bout lasts 12 rounds. Conn’s rapid growth may end his middleweight days, as he could move toward Melio Bettina, the Beacon New York Italian light heavyweight champion per the New York Commission.
