"Bobby Boyd of Chicago has made a strong pitch for a chance at Sugar Ray Robinson's middleweight crown - but he is finding the line forms on the right. Boyd won his 9th straight victory Wednesday night at Chicago Stadium as he scored a 10th round TKO over Milo Savage, who was the last fighter to defeat Boyd. But revenge lacked some of the sting. Savage, of Salt Lake City, was wrestled out of the ring and fell in a heap on the arena floor in the 4th round. By the 8th he seemed to be favoring his left leg. In the 9th he slipped once and then folded again for what passed as an official knockdown. In the 10th and final round, Boyd landed a sharp right to the head and Savage buckled to the canvas. He was on his feet almost immediately but the bout was stopped. Savage's manager Jack McCarthy said he motioned to referee Joey White to stop it." -Associated Press

  • Illinois Athletic Commission physician John Pribble diagnosed that Savage had bruised or fractured a floating rib in the fall from the ring apron.

  • "Boyd now is ready - and he is as strong as an ox. We want Sugar Ray Robinson." -Boyd's manager Bernie Glickman
