"Cleveland Williams stretched Johnny Holman up on his toes with a whistling left uppercut, then crossed a booming right for a 7th round knockout Tuesday night. The crushing combination came at 2:12 of the 7th in the scheduled 10 rounder. Holman hung in the air a second after the left, then fell heavily under the right. The Chicago heavyweight was on the floor a full minute before being revived. Until the end, Holman had taken all of Williams' best shots without flinching and had appeared to have the Houston slugger in trouble earlier in the round." -Associated Press
