Notes

• This was Liston's first fight in the United States since losing his rematch with Muhammad Ali in 1965. Liston's previous four fights had been in Sweden.
• A crowd of 3,081 paid $19,977.
• Liston knocked McMurray through the ropes with a right in round four. The New York Times news service reported: "McMurray's head hit a canvas-covered steel pipe on the ring apron with a soft thunk, but he gamely, if slowly, climbed back in before the referee counted to 10. Glassy-eyed, he seemed relieved when the referee then stopped the fight, after 47 seconds."
