The first six rounds were quite dull, as Wilson held at every opportunity. Near the end of the seventh round, when Fernandez started landing rights to the jaw which had Wilson in a bad way when the bell sounded. A terrific right hook dropped Wilson for the full count in 2:20 of round eight. (Summarized from The Ring, September 1949, page 55)
