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.
