"Johnson, the No. 1 contender for Archie Moore's light heavyweight title, spent the entire fight chasing the retreating Floyd. When he caught up with the 27-year-old New Yorker, which wasn't too often, Johnson piled up enough points with solid left jabs and hooks to win an easy verdict. All the action came in the last two rounds when Johnson corned the clowning Floyd in a neutral corner and pounded him with right and left hand shots that stung the loser into fighting back." - Associated Press
