Kid seeks meeting with Corbett as talks of bout continue
The Kid hopes to meet Corbett soon while the Californian has not yet confirmed a match. Reports say Jim McCoy is nearly broke after mortgaging his New York home for 7500 dollars, and he may be swayed by the right inducements. Public statements claim the Kid can beat McCoy, yet many who lost to McCoy doubt that. Sharkey’s victory over the Kid is debated, with McCoy groaning on the floor but denied a foul. Tommy West defends McCoy’s grit, while Tommy Ryan eyes a fight with McCoy and believes he can win, noting he would concede weight.
