"Lee Savold of Paterson, N.J., drove a savage right to the heart to knock out Lou Nova in the 2nd round of their scheduled 10 rounder tonight. After a cautious first round, Lee opened up in the 2nd and whipped a left hook high on Nova's jaw. The punch was damaging. An instant later, Savold drove a pile-driving right under Nova's heart. He slowly dropped to the canvas and curled up, lying on his side while the referee Freddie Gilmore tolled off the fatal seconds. The end came 1:40 after the round opened." -Associated Press
