MICKEY WALKER (on the scale) prior to his welterweight title defense against DAVE SHADE (on the right) at Yankee Stadium, September 1925
"Dave Shade had his chance at the world's welterweight title last night ... and lost. The California lad went down in defeat before the fiery offensive and punishing blows of Champion Mickey Walker in a fifteen-round bout at the Yankee Stadium which attracted a crowd of 40,000 fight-crazed boxing followers and furnished one of the most exciting, bitterly contested ring battles of the year." - THE NEW YORK TIMES
