HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE SHOCK FOR JOYCE!!

It's certainly an interesting telling of the times, leaving out plenty of details. No mention of Mancelli, Dai Sullivan, or Assirati.

November 6, 1959 in Glasgow Baldwin did beat Joyce, but in Ray's files there's no mention of a title or anything. There's no date on the Lime Grove match. What's interesting is around this same time Joyce also dropped the title to Dennis Mitchell. Either these happened one after the other, or the plan was to have two different champions in different towns for a short period of time. Joyce regained the title from Mitchell in July of 1960 in Bradford.

this tartan robe Baldwin is wearing. It's the same he wore to make his official promotional photo with the original Lord Mount Evans Belt.

What brilliant text, Main Mask, thank you.

Clearly all written by a man off the leash. The whole central part of the article attacks the "wrestler-promoter with the girlish name" who is then bitterly labelled a dreamer.

But then, just as this seems a Joint Promotions mouthpiece, the writer even takes a pop at Billy Joyce's dour style in that he did "not ring a merry tune on box office receipts."

Reading between the lines, and Joyce returning before a knee injury had healed, his dropping of the belt to Baldwin seems very likely a loan plan to a safe pair of hands.

It's a nice historical review of the fifties but with one total absence of mention: Assirati.

The writer clearly didn't fear the dreamer but did have to respect what Assirati might have got up to by way of retaliation. Mind you, the article does seem to be written anonymously.

Any photos of the Lord Mount Evans Belt which was at stake in that particular match?
