Baer Nova Heavyweight Title Bout Tonight at Yankee Stadium
Promoter and managers gamble on a high stakes 15 round or less battle between Max Baer and Lon Nova at Yankee Stadium with 30 000 to 40 000 expected and a gate surpassing 100 000. Betting favors near even money as both men seek the heavyweight crown title shot after the bout with Joe Louis. Nova is viewed as the faster puncher with a six year younger frame and aims to secure a shot at the title this year while Baer hopes to regain the championship with a knockout. Carlin predicts Nova will win promising a candid assessment from Nova’s manager about the bout and future matchups.
