Burke “was beaten by old rival and fellow international Milligan. Burke, who looked short of ‘match practice,’ took a long time to get going and Milligan was well on top in the early part of the bout.

The first round was so punishing that the referee called a halt while the doctor examined eye injuries received by both boys. Fortunately, the wounds were not serious and the referee allowed the battle to continue. Although it was a survival of the fittest, Milligan was able to harness his vast experience to his battle plans, and although himself subjected to heavy punishment, had the tough Springbok hanging on towards the end” (Boxing News 8-1-58:13).
