Pittsburgh Windmill Favored To Reclaim World Title
New York Aug 10 Champion ship boxing returns to Polo Grounds tomorrow night with Harry Greb the Pittsburgh Windmill set to challenge Johnny Wilson for the world welterweight crown in a fifteen round bout. The bout is the first of three title matches in two weeks, with Johnny Dundee and Benny Leonard meeting for the lightweight title next Wednesday and Jack Dempsey and Luis Firpo for the heavyweight belt the following week. Both fighters weighed to be under 160 pounds at the weigh in tomorrow afternoon and training showed Wilson in excellent shape after prior bans tied to challenges Greb. Wilson won the title from Mike Pond in 1926 and was briefly banned for refusing a challenge, now reinstated for this match. A comparison of Wilson and Greb’s measurements underscores their deadly matchup.
