• Referee: Lou Parker

"Maxim could have been given a slight edge at the half-way post, but from there on he took a healthy pasting." Joey bled freely from a cut over his right eye in the last two rounds. Charles tried hard to score a knockout but couldn't knock the clever Maxim off his feet despite scoring with "terrific right hand belts to the body." (James E. Doyle, Cleveland Plain Dealer (from Greg Paterson).
