From thesweetscience.com:
On this day in 1961, Harold Johnson won the National Boxing Association (NBA) Light Heavyweight title with a ninth-round stoppage of Jesse Bowdry in Miami Beach, Florida.
In October of 1960, the NBA stripped its then-champion, Archie Moore, of his title for inactivity. Contenders Johnson and Bowdry were then signed to fight for the title. Johnson had challenged Moore for the light heavyweight belt in August of 1954, and was tied on the scorecards with the champion before being stopped in the 14th round. Coming into his bout with Bowdry, Johnson had not lost a fight in more than six years. Bowdry was a solid contender who was coming off of a decision win over Willie Pastrano in a title elimination bout.
Johnson was 32, ten years older than Bowdry. However, Johnson possessed vast ring experience and superior boxing skills. He used those attributes to pick apart his opponent on his way to a ninth-round TKO.
In 1962, Moore was stripped of his title, and Johnson was universally recognized as the world light heavyweight champion after decisioning Doug Jones for the vacant belt. He successfully defended the title once before losing it via split decision to Pastrano in 1963. Bowdry’s career took a downward spiral following the Johnson defeat, as he would lose 9 of his next 11 fights. He retired in 1964.

1958-Terry Marsh, born in Stepney, East London, England
An English former professional boxer who was an undefeated world champion in the light welterweight division.
Marsh was a three time ABA senior amateur champion who went of to become the British, European and IBF light welterweight world champion as a professional. He was the first European boxer ever to retire as an undefeated World Champion, a feat later equalled by Romanian Michael Loewe, Germany's Sven Ottke and Welshman Joe Calzaghe.[1]
Marsh was charged with the attempted murder of his former manager, the boxing promoter, Frank Warren following Warren's shooting in London in 1989. Marsh spent 10 months on remand before he was released after being acquitted at trial.
1988- Mike Tyson marries actress Robin Givens
Givens was known for her work on the sitcom Head of the Class. Tyson's marriage to Givens was especially tumultuous with allegations of violence, spousal abuse and mental instability on Tyson's part. Matters came to a head when Tyson and Givens gave a joint interview with Barbara Walters on the ABC TV newsmagazine show 20/20 in September 1988, in which Givens described life with Tyson as "torture, pure hell, worse than anything I could possibly imagine." Givens also described Tyson as "manic depressive" on national television while Tyson looked on with an intent and calm expression. A month later, Givens announced that she was seeking a divorce from the allegedly abusive Tyson. They had no children but she claims to have had a miscarriage while Tyson claims she was never pregnant and only used that to get him to marry her. They divorced on February 14, 1989
1997- Lennox Lewis Wins Rematch With Oliver McCall in Las Vegas for the WBC title.
In one of the strangest fights in boxing history, McCall refused to box in the fourth and fifth rounds and actually began to cry in the ring, forcing the referee to stop the fight and award Lewis the victory.

Passed Away On This Day
1970- Abe Attell (born Abraham Washington Attell in San Francisco, California February 22, 1884 – February 7, 1970)
nown in the boxing world as Abe "The Little Hebrew" Attell, was a boxer who became known for his record-setting six-year reign as World Featherweight Champion. Said to be a friend of the gangster Arnold Rothstein, Attell was charged (and acquitted) of game fixing in the Black Sox Scandal in 1919 and was implicated in other sports controversies.
Attell was born in San Francisco, California, the son of Jewish parents. Growing up in a mostly Irish neighborhood, he was often involved in fights with neighborhood boys. He said as a kid, he sometimes had up to 10 bouts each day. After his father abandoned the family when Attell was 13, he sold newspapers to earn money. Selling at the corner of 8th and Market, where the Mechanics Pavilion was, Attell was able to see the fight between Solly Smith and George Dixon for the world's Featherweight championship. With that, Attell and his brothers Caesar and Monte became convinced that maybe they had futures in boxing.
Attell's first fight was at age 15 on August 19, 1900, when he knocked out Kid Lennett in two rounds. His mother, who strongly opposed his boxing, later became one of his staunchest supporters, betting on him to win. After these early fights, he was called by the nickname "The Little Hebrew".
After winning 10 fights in a row by knockout, Attell moved to Denver, Colorado. At the age of 17, he fought with Dixon for the World Featherweight championship in 1901 and beat him by a decision in 15 rounds. He won again in 1904 by beating Johnny Reagan in 20 rounds. One year later, he lost the crown to Tony Sullivan but regained it in February 1906 with a decision over Jimmy Walsh.
Attell successfully defended his title for 18 fights in a row from 1906–1912. (This was a division record until Eusebio Pedroza surpassed it in 1985). Among other opponents, Attell beat Battling Nelson and Johnny Kilbane during that streak. He was then called "The Little Champ". From 1909–1910, his brother Monte Attell, called the "Nob Hill Terror", held the Bantamweight Championship, making them the first brothers to hold world titles simultaneously. Caesar Attell also fought and was called "Two and a Half".
During his time as world featherweight champion, Attell was allegedly involved with gambler/gangster Arnold Rothstein. According to some legends, they became good friends during this period.
Attell lost his world Featherweight title to Johnny Kilbane in 1912, losing by a 20-round decision. Kilbane claimed that Attell's handlers put a substance on the fighter's glove to blind him. According to witnesses, Attell tried an assortment of other illegal methods to win the fight.[citation needed] On July 4, 1913, Attell accidentally hit the referee on the face during a win against Willie Beecher. He finally retired in 1917.
Attell managed one boxer, Marty Goldman. He coached him to a 33 Win (10 ko's), 11 Loss, 3 Draw record in 47 career fights.
In 1920 Attell was accused of being the messenger between the gangster Rothstein and players of the Chicago White Sox baseball organization, during the planning stages of the alleged fix of the 1919 World Series. The Black Sox scandal was considered a major outrage in sports. Attell's name appeared in newspaper headlines related to the scandal. He and many White Sox players were formally charged with several counts, including fixing the event, however Rothstein was never charged.. All were eventually acquitted at trial, but the baseball association banned them from participating in baseball activities. Attell denied having been involved in any talks about fixing the series. He convinced the jury that the wrong Abe Attell was accused.
Attell died in New Paltz, New York on February 7, 1970.
Legacy and honors
Attell was inducted posthumously as a member of various halls of fame:
* 1955, Boxing Hall of Fame
* 1982, National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame;
* 1983, the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame
* 1985, San Francisco Boxing Hall of Fame;
* 1990, first class of the International Boxing Hall of Fame; and

* His record of 92 wins, 10 losses, 18 draws and 45 no-decisions, with 51 wins by knockout, earned him a place on the list of Ring Magazine: "Fighters with 50 or More Knockout Wins".
* Bat Masterson, dean of the New York boxing journalists, considered Abe Attell pound for pound the best fighter, outside of Wyatt Earp, whom he had ever seen.

Yuh is arguably the most overlooked 108 pound ATG. I would have loved to see him fight Carbajal or Gonzalez. He would have had an excellent chance against either. Salazar actually went on to break Danny Romero's orbital bone and take his unbeaten record in a stunning upset.
