"Chartchai Chionoi of Thailand retained his world flyweight title Tuesday night when his fight with Scotland's Walter McGowan was stopped in the 7th round because of a fearsome cut above the Scot's left eye. Referee Ike Powell of Wales stopped the 15 rounder at 1:12 of the 7th as blood pumped from McGowan's face. The injury was sustained in the 5th when the Thai scrapper connected with an overhand right. The Scot, realizing that he had to win by KO, threw everything into a furious charge in the 5th and 6th rounds. McGowan came out for the 7th, still looking for the KO, but the first punch he received on the injury produced another flow of blood and Powell stepped between the two fighters. Chionoi was made to miss badly but he was dangerous at close quarters and also tough. McGowan appeared to be cruising home until he decided to mix it and that was his downfall." -United Press International
