A "Complete Sports" publication with the outstanding LOU SAHADI
as the editor. The authors of the various articles included:
Lester Bromberg, Archie Moore, Herb Elk, George Girsch,
Jerry Prater, Robert D. Willis, and Jerry Prater.
From my reading chair the best article was
"EDER JOFRE: WORLD'S GREATEST FIGHTER"
The sub heading narrative said it all:
"Eder Jofre's rule over the bantamweights is absolute. He's undefeated
in 49 pro fights and his combination of power with class is unmatched
by fighters today."
In the opening paragraph of the story, the article compared him to
the ex-heavyweight champion ROCKY MARCIANO who was also
undefeated in 49 pro fights. And MSG promoter Harry Markson
had positive things to say about Jofre, "He's the complete fighter
-exciting, capable, just awfully good."
Another good article of interest was by Lester Bromberg:
"JOEY ARCHER: UNCROWNED MIDDLEWEIGHT
CHAMPION." The first major reference in the story was
the fact that Joey had scored victories over Rubin Carter
and Dick Tiger, and the assumption that champion
Joey Giardello was ducking him.
NOTE - Years later there would be Lou Sahadi's
"BOXING SCENE" magazine
