  • Notes

    Downey defended his Ohio recognized version of World Middleweight title. Reported in the New Orleans Times-Picayune (Jack Kincaid). Downey scored a clear knockout in round five. A terrific uppercut which Downey brought up from his knees sent Littleton down and out. Happy was unconscious for five minutes. He did not fight well in the first four rounds and landed only a few good punches. Downey was almost unmarked when he left the ring and admitted that it was one of his easier fights.
