NEW YORK (TP) Don’t look now, although you might j
want to take a peek Friday night, but there’s another Kid
Oavilan in our midst.
He is strangely named Isaac Logart, a 22-year-old wel
terweight who battles Gil Turner as the rodeo moves out
and boxing moves back to Madison Square Garden four
days hence.
Logart is like Gavilan in many ways, and whether
you think that’s good or bad depends on how you looked
at “The Hawk.’’
But the many similarities are there. Logart, like the
“Keed,” hails from Camaguey, Cuba. Just as with Gavi
lan, Isaac was torn early between his desires to play base
ball and box.
And, it may be added, he fights in the Gavilan man
ner.
That, naturally, is a tipoff to the fact that Logart is
no knockout artist. Possessing only a fair punch, he has
climbed into the ninth ranking welterweight spot on his
speed and flash.
DOESN’T SEEM MUCH
At first glance this doesn't seem like much of a bout
with which to bring fisticuffing back to boxing’s big
house. Turner, a ranking middleweight, has more experi
ence and will have a weight edge. The Philadelphian at
25 has had 58 bouts and lost only nine. Logart has engag
ed in 47 pro bouts but only 13 of them were in this coun
try. Os those, he won 11.
But you can’t knock the theory that currently the
middleweight and welterweight divisions are the “live”
ones and new talent must be developed constantly to keen
them that way. y 1
Rocky Marciano has the heavyweight crown virtually
on ice as he fights on a twice-a-year schedule. The com
plainants aren’t necessarily valid candidates, either. Old
Archie Moore is hoarding the light heavyweight crown,
with only Floyd Patterson as a probable opponent after
Arch dusts off Randy Turpin in London come January
OTHERS REALLY JUMPING
But the next two divisions are r'eally jumping. Bobo
Olso nwill give Ray Robinson his middleweight comeback
shot and standing in line for the winner are a long line
of hopefuls. Carmen Basilio, the welterweight champien
has a November 30 date at Boston with Tony Demarco
and the winner is committed to Johnny Saxton. There are
a number of others waiting around, too
However, when you get a “hot” champ such as Olson
has been it doesn’t take him long to march through the
top candidates. So there always has to be somebody mov
ing up from the kindergarten to keep the production line
rolling. Otherwise, you’d soon have a situation such as
exists among the hopeless heavyweights.
Which may explain why Logart, the new Gavilan
gets a shot out of nowhere.
