"Eddie Machen, the No. 4 heavyweight contender, went through a lot of motion without much progress as he gained his 34th victory against 2 defeats Wednesday night over the elusive Alonzo Johnson in the Chicago Stadium. The nationally-televised bout produced a lot of swinging and swaying, but nobody came close to being hurt. "He just clinched a lot and was going away quite a bit," said Machen, 195, who wrestled Johnson, 189, to the canvas five times but never could land a solid punch." -Associated Press
