<p dir="auto">There was supposed to be televised boxing in New Yawk during WW2. I didn't know anyone had a set then.<br />
Anyone know who fought on the telly then? I would think if a name pugilist was on tv in the early '40s his name would be known. Billy Graham who was from Murray Hill was around then.<br />
Any ideas?</p>

<p dir="auto">I found out the first (Great) match between Louis\Conn ('41) was televised!?<br />
Earlier, there were two fights Lou Nova\Max Baer in '39 and '41; Nova won both.<br />
First known telly bout was from London arena in '39.</p>

<p dir="auto">There were the Graham Brothers who wrestlers. One was Dr. Jerry Graham and the other may have been Billy.</p>

<p dir="auto">Ay gumbar, don't forget Jake L. and Carmen B.  Den dere was all them Joeys<br />
There's a Great book, ITALIAN STALLIONS about mainly the mid '40s to early '60s paisan pugilists.<br />
RING mag would name a "Best Bout" each year.  Between '45 and 1960, only two year's choices *didn't have The Best Bout with at least one Italian boxer.<br />
p.s. Ay (waving hands), I forget Willie P. the Light Weight. He was fighting c. 1940 to early sixties. Basilio says he was "The Best!"</p>
