“The Blonde
Terror of Terra Haute,” as the Indiana-native Bud Taylor was billed, was to
contend for the vacant NBA bantamweight prize in this match-up slated with Tony
Canzoneri of New York. When Canzoneri
could not appear, Eddie Shea substituted and took the 10-frame loss. Canzoneri and Taylor went at it for the 1st
time a month later, but fought to a draw.
In July in a rematch held in Soldier Field, Taylor won through to claim
the title. Future hall of famer
Canzoneri would eventually hold both the world junior welterweight and lightweight
crowns simultaneously. |
