Boston fans expect a quiet night as Jimmy Carter defends the lightweight title for the 11th time against Wallace Smith at the Boston Garden. Carter enters as a 3-1 favorite to win and looks for a knockout within 15 rounds, while Smith seeks revenge after their 1950 rematch. The bout, not telecast locally on ABC, is anticipated to draw a small gate with two out of town challengers. Carter, 31, is in peak form, and Smith, 26, who held the AAU 126 pound title in 1948, aims for the upset after losing a 10 round decision to Carter in 1950.
