    I know Bert very well, and from time to time, he does make mistakes, I believe this is one of them.

    Joe Lynch beat Pete Herman on December 22, 1920 to win the Bantamweight Championship of the World, at Madison Square Garden.

    Mickey Walker beat Jack Britton on November 1, 1922 to win the World Welterweight Title , at Madison Square Garden.

    Also, here's 2 more that were before Walker.

    Johnny Dundee beat George KO Chaney on January 18, 1921 to win the Jr. Lightweight Championship of the World, at Madison Square Garden.

    Johnny Buff beat Pete Herman on September 23, 1921 to win the Bantamweight Championship of the World, at Madison Square Garden.

    This would depend on which Garden your talking about. The current one was Frazier/Mathis and Griffith/Benvenuti on March 4, 1968.
