' Agreeing that Saddler would be an excellent lightweight con tender, Managing Director Harry Markson of the International Boxing Club said, "We would like to have Sandy challenge Jimmy Carter for the light weight title in May." Skmny Saddler lacked his old- time accuracy Friday night as he made his first defense of the 126-pound crown in more than three years; but he won in such lopsized fashion over top con tender Davis that he stands out like a giant in the feather class Face Battered His long left jabs and bursts of left uppercuts at close quarters won the unanimous 15-round de cision like a 100-1 choice in stead of a mere 9-5 favorite. Elongated Saddler, scaling 124V5 pounds to Red Top's 126, was unable to floor the 31-year- old challenger, but he had the right side of Red Top's face so swollen that he looked like a man with the mumps. The cham pion bled from his lower lip after the eighth round.
