    Not since the gaunt and emaciated Ted Kid Lewis was arousing the sympathy of the customers - and how that cadaverous Englishman could lather them years ago - Has any athlete roused the pity of the patrons as does Day. * Excerpt, New York Daily News, Jack Miley 1939 *

    I didn't hype him up, NY, Chgo, and a hundred other Newspaper sportswriters hyped him up, from their eyes. Mike Jacobs who controlled all venues ( MSG) in NY. of filming the event. Google Davey Day, fighting Montanez, and on Ebay picture of Day arriving in NY to fight Pedro, all info on Day's fights is mentioned in the description of the lot. Uncle Mike wouldn't allow any of his house champions to fight Day, when he was the #1 contender and challenger to Ambers, Armstrong, Jenkins, Canzoneri.
