Petey Scalzo looked like a cinch to challenge Josey Archibald for the featherweight title after a unanimous decision over Simon Chavez at Madison Square Garden. Chavez complained of a hurt right hand but Scalzo pressed the attack through the late rounds. Archibald and manager Al Weill consider future bouts, possibly in New Orleans, with talks of a $10,000 guarantee against Jimmy Perrin.
