On The Cuff Preview Of Tonight's Paychek Fight
Paychek may be the toughest opponent Louis has faced if he follows orders and stays calm. He can be hit and could go the distance, but we expect birdies to chatter around 10:05 p.m. EST, likely in the second round. Benny Leonard has backed Paychek from the start, and if Johnny upsets the odds, Benny could set his own appearance tour price.
