Swedish bantamweight Jan Persson (17-2-1) had a very even and tough 8 rounder with Londoner Don Weller, a veteran from Battersea with a 22-11-3 record. It was a battle of southpaws.
Weller rushed forward, Persson countered. Sometimes they had hard two-fisted exchanges toe-to-toe. The crowd applauded wildly and had no idea who the winner would be until Weller unfortunately got a cut on his forehead in the 6th, forcing the referee to stop the fight.
