    "Henry Armstrong 7-5 To Regain Crown"

    Harold Conrad >

    The 'Dusky Dynamo' is the fan favorite to regain his Welterweight Championship
    over conqueror Fritie Zivic.

    But the boys on Jacobs Street think that Henry has seen better days, and that his
    eyes will never hold up against the Pittsburg Mauler.

    While Henry will go down as one of the Greatest Fighter in History, he is not the
    Henry of old. Only 3-Months ago, he looked washed up at the end of his 15-Round
    bout with Fritzie Zivic.

    In that bout, Henry set the pace for the first 7-Rounds, as Fritzie did little other
    than stick out a left-jab. But Henry under-estimated Fritzie, and the 'Pittsburg
    Mauler' came on like gang-busters from the 8th Round and on, as he targeted
    Henry's eyes.

    Though that bout was close, it was the Challenger who took it to Henry over the
    second-half of the 15-Rounder. And Fritzie badly busted up Henry around the
    eyes and mouth.

    Though Henry has scar-tissue over both eyes, and an ongoing problem of swelling
    up, he still can pull off some of his magic. He is not the 'perpetual-motion' fighting
    machine of old, but he has superior technique and boxing skills.

    In recent sparring sessions, Henry has changed up and is using a stand-up boxing style
    from the outside, instead of charging in and flinging. This style will allow him to avoid
    Fritzie's hard left-jabs and close inside right uppercuts.

    In my opinion, 'Henry Is The Choice' by a close 15-Round decision.

    While Fritzie Zivic is a good fighter and is under-rated in his ring talents, he will never
    be as good as Henry Armstrong was in his Hey-Day. I believe that Henry still has
    enough skills left to build up a points lead over the first 10-Rounds. And if his eyes
    hold up, he will have enough of a points lead to hold off the hard-charging Zivic
    down the stretch.
