September 28, 1940

While Henry Armstrong was set as a {4-1} Betting-Favorite, there were those
who stated that this would Hammerin Hank's toughest defense.

Fritzie Zivic came into New York on September 26th, and immediately showed
the Boxing Pundits that he was more than capable of handling Henry.

Fritzie was impressive in sparring-sessions, and was labeled 'The Miracle Mauler'.

Fritzie Zivic is at his 'peak' as a fighter. This spindle-shanked muscular Croatian
is a seasoned performer. He's fast, smart and will be a tough adversary for Henry.

I'm not so sure that the 'Little Buzz-Saw' can take him so easily. The {4-1}
Betting-Odds are too long. These two are much closer matched than that.

Henry is a 'whirlwind', but Fritzie is bigger and stronger.
