Tore Magnussen of Norway faced the strong Olli Maeki of Finland at the Ishallen in Helsinki. 4000 attended. The fight was very even. Maeki threw lefts and looping rights which shook Magnussen. The Norwegian started to counter effectively in the middle rounds, cutting Maeki on the eyebrow with a right, making it a somewhat gory spectacle. By the 8th, the fight was open, but then Maeki set in his legendary rally, increasing the tempo to the Norwegian's disbelief. Magnussen couldn't withstand Maeki's rushes and retired in his corner before the 9th. "My arms felt like lead," he told the Aftenposten.
