Notes

Reported in the New Orleans Times-Picayune (Jack Kincaid). "In Littleton..Wiggins met a buzz saw whose punches he learned to respect almost from the tap of the opening gong., when 'Happy' buried a right in his midsection. From then on to the end of the battle, Wiggins avoided those body punches as if they meant death, jumping back gingerly from the clinches." Littleton dominated the fight for the first eleven rounds but tired, and Wiggins came on in the last four. Littleton deserved the decision, however. Wiggins claimed that he was weakened by having to make weight, coming in at two pounds less than the 165 that was required. It was a very good fight, held before 8,000 fans.
