Delaney Upsets Saxton In Ten Round Showdown
Akron right hander Bonnie Delaney, unranked, edged welter champion Johnny Saxton in a 10 round non title bout by a close decision. Delaney boxed from the southpaw stance and led early, with judges Harold Minto and Sam Taormina scoring for the Akron fighter and Eddie Atlas also favoring Delaney. Promoters and managers floated possible future big bids, but the crowd of 1,742 limited earnings and plans for a higher stakes bout. Saxton admitted the bout was close and possibly rusty as he weighed 148 pounds to Delaney’s lighter frame. Delaney improved to 48 1 3 with Saxton at 46 3 2. No knockout occurred.
