"Holman Williams, Detroit, outpointed Charley Burley, Pittsburgh, tonight in a 12 round feature of the Hudson Boxing Club's first outdoor card this season before 3,000 chilled fans in Civic Stadium. Burley, making his first start since March, made a fight of it in the early rounds lashing Williams' kidney area with smacking rights. Burley, an 8-5 favorite, took the first two heats in a romp. Williams took over in the 3rd, relying mainly on short, sharp blows. While Williams' punches didn't carry the sting of Burley's, they were far more numerous. There were no kncockdowns." -Associated Press
