"Lightweight contender Len Matthews turned the tables on Candy McFarland in their TV fight at MSG last night. Matthews won a lopsided 10 round decision after staggering McFarland five times and flooring him once in the last round. Matthews won on a rounds basis, 8-2, 9-1 and 6-3-1 over Sugar Ray Robinson's lanky protege, who had beaten Len in four of their five bouts as amateurs. Fleet-footed Candy was content to jab and run in most of the rounds." -United Press International
- Unofficial AP scorecard - 9-1 Matthews
