NC declared for not trying

Alan Minter fought Magdziarz 3 times back in the 1970s. In the 3rd fight a NC was ruled after 3-4 rounds because they were apparently "not trying"? Did/Has anyone seen this bout or know what actually happened?

I thionk he said they were both cancelling each other out. I'm sure he mentions it in Sweet Fighting Men, by Melanie Lloyd.

Southampton's Jan Magdziarz stopped Minter twice in the space of 42 days in 1973 - both times on cuts from Jan's dangerous right hand.
Minter took the defeats in good grace. He respected Jan, who was awkward, tough and could punch.
When they met again in 1974, both were dancing around like Ali, refusing to take the initiative. The crowd were booing, Harry Gibbs (no Ali fan) warned them a couple of times, and then slung them out.
