This was a terrific fight. "The sixth was the most sensational round in Coliseum history. Moore caught Hogue with a vicious right to the head and buckled his knees. He then went in for the kill and plastered Shorty with rights and lefts that would have felled an ox.. Miraculously, Hogue survived the round and won the next two. Hogue was knocked down for no-count in the fourth, but bored in aggressively throughout the fight and threw flurries of wild swings. Moore was the better boxer and harder hitter and probably should have received the decision. Hogue was very popular in the San Diego ring and the decision was well-received.
