Saxton and Miceli Rated Even for Olympia Welterweight Bout
Saxton and Miceli, two welterweights with contrasting styles, are rated even for a 10 round bout at Olympia Stadium tonight. Saxton, undefeated in 39 pro fights, fights at close range and wears down opponents with body punches. Miceli is the more spectacular hitter, often dropping foes with his left uppercut. The telecast begins at 8 p.m. CST. In a separate note, oil-well drilling often spends more time removing and replacing bits than actual drilling.
