"Nigerian Dick Tiger, British Empire middleweight champion, rallied to take a unanimous 10 round decision from favored Ace Armstrong in the Chicago Stadium Wednesday night. Although all three officials voted for Tiger, the nationally televised bout was close all the way and Tiger's spirited last-round attack swung the tide. There were no knockdowns, but Tiger was bleeding at the finish from cuts over his left eye, from his nose and from his lip." -Associated Press
