"For the second time in less than two months, Ezzard Charles carried home to Cincinnati today the figurative scalp of Charley Burley. Burley lost by unanimous decision to the 20 year old Charles in the 10 round feature which broke all Hickey Park attendance records. A crowd of app. 4,200 turned out. With a nine pound advantage at 161, Charles proved his punching power on inside fighting and kept Burley mostly on the defensive and unable to strike a telling blow. Charles took 7 rounds, splitting 1 and giving up 2 to Burley." -United Press
