Langford demands another shot at Johnson title
Sam Langford seeks a rematch with Jack Johnson after the Chelsea bout of 1906 where Langford, weighing 146 pounds to Johnson's 196, gave a courageous 15 round display. Observers say Langford could have knocked Johnson out in five more rounds and deserves a title crack now that he can make 170 pounds.

The verdict was disputed with many calling for a draw as White used long range punching to control the action, while Attell pressed through clinches and scored with sharp jabs.
