Jan 17, 1954. New York.
Sandy Saddler, the featherweight champ, goes to Ft. Jay Monday to work out his last three months in the Army Confident he still can handle anybody in his division.
The lanky 5 foot 7" New Yorker gave little Billy Bossio, a 5 foot 1" halfpint, a solid going over last night in his first start in 22 months.
Saddler, sleek at 130 1/2 pounds, stopped Bossio in 2:35 of the ninth round of a non-title go at St Nicholas Arena after dropping him twice for automatic eight counts in the third and the ninth. The second knockdown was actually more of a push than a punch.
"I wasn't sharp, I guess" said saddler. "But it felt good to be in there again."
At 130 1/2 pounds, Sandy was only 4 1/2 pounds over the class limit. Bossio weighed 128.
Bossio, a 5-1 underdog was the peoples' choice with the crowd of 1,902 who paid $4,228 to see the nationally televised bout.
