Boxing News, August 20, 1965, reported:
British welter Johnny Cooke took on Sweden's Bo Hogberg, a leading contender for the European middleweight title, at Gothenburg, and seemed unlucky not to get a points verdict, having outboxed and outgeneralled his opponent. More from the effort of his own exhaustions than anyhting else Cooke was down twice in the final round which must have influenced the verdict.
