Weight, records cited in canceled Downes McKinney bout
The planned Terry Downes vs Bob McKinney fight was called off due to weight gaps and McKinney’s strong record. Fragetta noted McKinney would weigh about 174 while Downes hovered near 160, prompting Downes’ camp to insist on 165 or 160. McKinney faced financial losses from canceled Ohio and Pennsylvania dates, with about $500 likely lost. The piece also covers Little League tryouts, Derby picks, Beckley semi pro needs, Sophia Little League opening, and local sports chatter.
