HISTORY: On February 21, 1964 at Madison Square Garden in New York light heavyweights Eddie Cotton and Johnny Persol fought in the main event. Persol prevailed winning a close 10 round split decision. "His youthful exuberance stood Johnny Persol in good stead in his fight with the veteran Eddie Cotton at MSG Friday night. Knocked through the ropes for a count of seven in the 6th round, the 23 year old New Yorker bounced back and gained a split 10 round decision in the nationally televised scrap. It was a disappointment for the 37 year old Cotton from Seattle, the No. 1 light heavyweight contender who was making his Garden debut after 16 years as a pro." -Associated Press.
