By HAL WOOD Portland, Ore. - IUPD - The biggest crowd in Oregon fight history will jam the Portland Meadows race track this eve ning to see home-town hero Denny Moyer, a 19-year-old Portland (CPU Welter weight Champion Don Jor dan was a pound and a half over the 147-pound limit when he and Challenger Denny Moyer of Portland weighed in today for to night's title bout it Port land Meadows. Jordan was given until noon to lose the excess weight. Moyer weighed in at 146Vi pounds. baby-faced slasher, attempt to wrest the world welterweight crown from Don Jordan. ine oaas-makers nave in stalled Jordan as 12-5 favorite, but in the light of recent de velopments on bash boule vard, these odds may drop be fore the gong sounds at 6 p.m. (PST). With Floyd Patterson losing his heavyweight title to Inge mar Johansson and Alphonse Halimi shorn of the bantam weight title by Jose Beccara, local hero-worshippers believe that maybe good things run in series of three and that Moyer can make the grade against Jordan. The 15-round bout will be televised nationally. Promoter Tommy Moyer, Denny's uncle, predicts a crowd of at least 8,000 will pay upwards of $80,000. Big gest gate in the history of the state was $66,581 for a battle between Harry "Kid" Mat thews and Rex Layne, then both heavyweight contenders, a few years back. Tip Top Shape While Moyer is unbeaten in 20 professional fights, the be lief is that he can win only if the battle goes the distance. While Denny never has gone more than 10 rounds before, he is in tip-top shape. But he lacks the punch t o get it over with fast. His record shows only four knockouts. Jordan, a surprise cham pion who was anything but a tiger until he' got champion Virgil Akins in the ring, has gone 15 rounds in two of his last three outings with Akins He is six years older than the challenger. Jordan never could put a win streak together before he became the champ. He has a record of 45 wins and 10 losses.- He has. scored 14 knockouts, which indicates he carries a slightly more power ful punch. No matter how it turns out, Jordan will have a good pay day. He'll receive a cash guar anee of $70,000. Moyer is supposed to get 12V4 per cent of the gate, this would leave the promoter in the hole -except that he will get $35,000 from radio and TV rights.
