1974 DUANE BOBICK vs JIMMY SUMMERVILLE Vintage Boxing Poster 14x22 Miami Beach, Florida CARLOS MONZON vs JOSE NAPOLES, JAMES SCOTT
Item Description
Main Event(s) - Duane Bobick vs. Jimmy Summerville "Slim Jim"
Also promotes an upcoming Closed Circuit showing between Carlos Monzon and Jose Napoles for the World Middleweight Title, broadcast from France.
Of note, but not listed on the poster, this card also included the 2nd Pro Fight of famous prison boxer, James Scott, who fought Hydra Lacy on the undercard. Scott would be charged with murder a little more than a year later and eventually land in Rahway State Prison where he fought and beat many top boxers of the era in televised bouts.
Lots of history for the hardcore boxing fan and historian here:
Duane Bobick - Amateur superstar who represented the U.S. in the 1972 Olympic Games. Unfortunately he ran into the buzzsaw that was Teofilo Stevenson in the 2nd round of matches. He started off his pro career with 38 straight wins, before getting knocked out by Ken Norton in an elimination bout in 1977.
James "Slim Jim" Summerville - Massive Heavyweight who served as a sparring partner for Muhammad Ali and Jimmy Ellis at The 5th Street Gym in Miami Beach. Like James Scott, he also had many run-ins with the law. Roughly a year and a half after this bout against Bobick, Summerville was killed by a Police Officer while fleeing a robbery in Miami.
