Jersey Joe to Face Heavier Slower Foe in Title Bout
Jersey Joe Walcott prepares to defend the world heavyweight title against a heavier Ezzard Charles in Atlantic City. Charles weighed 196% pounds for the weigh in, about 14 pounds more than in the title loss to Walcott last summer, while Walcott's camp believes the added mass may slow Charles and invite another knock to the chin. Charles said he aims for about 191 pounds and cited a hearty breakfast before weighing.
