Hansen started in upright style with left jabs. In the 2nd Baars began to counter effectively.Hansen went for KO with hard rights in rounds 3 and 4. But he began to tire,and a terrific right cross in the 5th felled the Norwegian as a tree. He rolled over the canvas, saved by the bell. He barely survived the 6th round,got a cut and didn't come out for the 7th.

This card became known in Norwegian boxing folklore as "The Black and White- card" ,as two Norwegians faced black fighters.The other was Anders Haga who took on Surinam bantam Sugar Ray. Both Norwegians received a solid beating and became heroes in defeat.
