Armstrong Set For Welterweight Title Fight At MSG
Armstrong defends his welterweight title against Davey Day at Madison Square Garden in a bout seen as a major test. Analysts expect Day to offer stiffer resistance than Lou Ambers, raising the possibility of a new world welterweight champion if Day proves competitive. Coach Elmer Layden’s Notre Dame S-Men remain a concern, with Harry Stevenson Bob Saggan and Ben Sheridan anchoring the left halfback unit. Day holds championship trophies and medals from the Jewelers and Fox Furnace leagues, trophies supplied by Gardner Credit Jewelers and Day’s W hardware setup.
