Winnipeg free press thursday june 20, 1940 new running race record with Louis tonight by Henry Mclemore British t Nii etl press staff correspondent new York 20. There will be i game of squat tag played at tonight Between Arturo Godoy and Joe Louis. Godoy do the squatting and Louis will attempt to do the tagging. The second inc Etina Between these two men is billed As a Light for of the but it stands Little Chance of developing into that. Godoy s style of lighting Louis Calls Lor a minimum of fighting. It Calls mostly for squatting bouncing. Swaying grimacing clutching and almost any thing else will keep him in Busy that lie won t Ever have time to stand straight up and with the Champion. A fish expert with nothing better to do kept track of the Miles that Godoy ran in raining for the fight and found Nii he Cocci de 450 Miles or roughly the distance Between los Angeles and Phoenix. This stress on conditioning his legs indicates that Godoy is ready for the race of his life tonight. There is a report that Godoy has asked the boxing commission to ask the. Racing commission if he Godoy. Can use the electric starting Gate in his Corner and also carry whip and spurs so that he can get the Best out of himself. The a. A. U. Also plans to have an official timer at the ringside to clock Godoy on the Chance that he May better the time of Glenn Cunningham and turn in the Long awaited four minute mile. There Are a lot of us. In and out of condition who might do even better than that if we had an angered Joe Louis chasing us. And Joe is Likely to be angry tonight. He did t like the Boos and hisses th-3 crowd gave him after his first fight with Godoy and of his training Louis had developed a Crouch of his own and was using body blows to straighten up his opponents so that he would have a Chance at their jaws. If Louis employs these tactics against godot tonight s fight should afford a novel spectacle what with Champion and challenger Bent Over the Canvas like bloodhounds hot on the Trail of a fugitive. And Joe undoubtedly will fight Godoy in Godoy s own style because he knows from fifteen rounds of experience that the South american won t fight his Way. The consensus of opinion is that Louis will retain his title but Only by a decision after 15 rounds. If you Don t care about the consensus of opinion and would prefer a highly personal and incompetent one Here is mine Louis will Knock out Godoy sometime Between the eighth and eleventh rounds. This prediction is based on the belief that no Man even if he bet the most confusing stylist in the world can go 30 rounds with Louis and not get hit squarely on the Chin at least once. And that s All Joe needs to flatten Godoy. He did t get it in their first fight but i feel hell get it tonight.
