Unimpressive Deris''
Over Jimmy
Slade
By JACK CUDDY
NEW YORK, Jan. 30. — VP -
Timmy Slade, who lost a split de-
cision'to highly touted Harold
Johnson, said Saturday the top light
heavyweight contender was no'
ready for a title bout with Cham-
pion Archie Moore.
And the 1,464 fans who jeering!',
watched reluctant Harold in his re-
turn 10-round wal„tz with Slade Fri-
day night at St. Nichols arena, ap-
parenty agreed with Jimmy-lust-
iiy.
Johnson’s split verdict and his.
reluctance to throw punches cer*
tainly did not help the Philadelphia
contender’s campaign to force
Moore. Moore is so much better,
there’s no comparison.’ Jimmy lost
a decision to Moore on Feb. 27,
1952.
Muscular Johnson, 25, who had
i won impressively over Slade in
1 their previous bout on Jan 16, 1953,
said he thought he won by a fair
! margin Friday night. But he ad-
mitted, “I was slow at 178’i lbs.
| That was the heaviest I ever
weighed for a fight. I do best at
[about 174 or 175.” The light-
|heavy limit is 175.
Slade was unusually heavy also
at 182.
Slade’s aggressiveness won the
[vote of Judge Harold Barnes Fri-
Iday night. Baines favored him on
rounds, 5-4-1. But Judge Joe Ep-
py had Johnson ahead, 7-3; likewise
Referee A1 Berl,, 5-4-1. The United j
Press favored Johnson, 7-3.
