Ritchie Defends Title in Milwaukee Lightweight Bout
The Ritchie Wolgast fight in Milwaukee looks set for ten fast rounds with both boxers at or above 135 pounds. Ritchie, the champion, faces a dangerous puncher in Wolgast who will gamble for a knockout. A loss would only come by foul or a decisive KO. Also tonight at North Abington the Briggs versus Sylvia eight rounder looms as a key step toward future matches, while two sixes feature Lorenzo vs Lucier and Sweeney vs Whalen.
