On the Liston-Zech in Stockholm, Finnish heavyweight
prospect Raimo Nisula was shocked by novice Italian Ermanno
Festorazzi who knocked him out in the 1st round.
Nisula, in his 5th fight with 4 wins, was hit by a left hook early on. He responded by pressing the Italian into a corner and fired away. From his uneasy position Festorazzi threw a left hook which sent Nisula falling into the ropes. The Finn looked clear and fine as he sat on the floor looking for instructions from his cornerman Elis Ask. When he rose at 8 his legs would not carry him.
