Basilio May Skip Sugar For Ortega
New York welterweight champ Carmen Basilio may fight Gasper Ortega in August if Sugar Ray Robinson agrees to defend his middleweight crown. Basilio’s camp met with International Boxing Club president Jim Norris who said a co sponsored title bout with Ortega could be set in Los Angeles. Robinson’s 45 percent demand remains a sticking point, with Basilio offered 40 percent and a 100000 dollar guarantee. Archie Moore floated Toronto interest for a TV heavy title bout if terms reach 200000, while other details hinge on Robinson’s decision and TV deals.

Brown Versus Istvela Nears 15 Round Showdown
Brown has been aggressive with sparring partners over the past week and is headed for a full 15 round bout. The Cuban standout Istvela has never been knocked down, using a sharp educated left hand and speed. A potential pre-fight clash could happen between Wallman and manager Lou Viscusi. Colorado rules call for eight ounce gloves, with Viscusi likely to seek a waiver to use lighter gear. Wallman asserts readiness to respect the Colorado rule but insists his boxer is a capable fighter. Brown has a $25,000 guarantee, with part from television revenue and ticket sales, though only $10,000 in advance tickets have been sold.
