New York boxing scene faces pullback as war limits top talent and shows. Promoter Mike Jacobs cannot field major indoor cards as MSG and outdoor venues shift to other uses. Only a few lightweights remain marketable, with Armstrong and Angott sidelined by injuries and others deployed or inactive. Private Johnny Greco rejected by Canadian army, leaving the summer prospects thin.
