"American heavyweight Bob Baker took command midway Tuesday night and outpointed Dick Richardson of Wales in a 10 round fight. The 23 year old Briton looked like a novice. Richardson provided most of the action in the first five rounds. Then the 31 year old American let loose in the 6th round, brought blood gushing from Richardson's nose and went on to give the Welsh Milkman a lesson in the finer points of fighting. Baker was so confident toward the end that he did not even bother to sit down between rounds." -Associated Press
