"Hamas, young, eager and hungry for big-time purses, won because he got the jump on the stolid German in the early rounds, outhit the ex-titleholder continually and stood up valiantly under fire. He forced the fight while Der Max stood around waiting for something to happen. He met that fighter's charges with punch for punch --- and he lasted better in heavy going." Philadelphia Inquirer

Schmeling was reported as a 3-to-1 favorite entering the bout.
