Eligio, better known as "Kid Chocolate", the dazzling Cuban, will attempt to prove he can give away ten pounds and still whip Bergman, otherwise known as Jeck 'Kid' Berg, a jewish boy from the Whitechapel area of London and one of the best and busiest of the lightweights.
If the jury has any preconceived opinion it is that Chocolate can't do it. The odds for their ten-round tilt stand at 6 to 5 on Berg.
Never beaten in 67 professional or amateur bouts, Chocolate has flashed sensationally in two years of American campaigning. He is considered the uncrowned featherweight champion, a natural 126 pounder, an ebony marvel of boxing ability and speed afoot, and a puncher besides. He has been held only once to a draw, and holds a decision over Al Singer, the present lightweight champion, as a result of an open-air duel here last summer. He is considered unbeatable at his own weight.
