Davis Mismatch Ends Tucson Boxing Return
Promoter Paavo Ketonen organized an outdoor show in Tucson with on time preliminaries and disclosed figures but the main event faltered as Hank Davis failed to rise from a fifth round knockdown against Art Aragon. Davis blamed layoff and lack of fights on the coast while Ketonen defended the bout as well organized. The crowd of 857 watched Davis suspended for 60 days for conditioning, extending his layoff to 12 months and souring the afternoon for his supporters.
