"Eddie Machen looked like anything but a ranking heavyweight contender Tuesday night in stopping Clarence Williams of Hollywood in the 9th round of a scheduled 10 at Sacramento. A standing room only crowd of 5,100 booed lustily in Memorial Auditorium throughout the dull contest and when referee Frankie Carter stopped the fight at 1:42, Williams' nose was cut and he was bleeding from the mouth." -Associated Press
- Machen took this bout as a warmup for his 10-rounder against Reuben Vargas scheduled for April 29th, which eventually took place on May 20th.
