Billy Graham was outpointed by the Dane Christian Christensen who was campaigning in the US. Graham had recently had an appendix operation and looked sluggish and slow. He let the Dane hit him often with a sharp right. Christiansen also confused Graham by shifting to southpaw now and then.
Graham, no mean left jabber himself, was also outjabbed by the tall lanky Dane.
