"Johnny Summerlin, 192, of Detroit, scored a 6th round knockout over Charlie Powell, 212 1/2, of San Diego, in their scheduled 10 round fight at the Olympic Auditorium Thursday night. Powell, the former San Francisco 49'er, fighting his 15th professional bout, took the count after a heavy barrage of punches to the head after 1:18 of the 6th round. Summerlin, a young heavyweight prospect making his 31st visit to the ring in the pro ranks, had Powell down for a nine-count in the 4th round. It took no less than 15 lefts and rights, most of them to the head, to floor the 6'3" Powell." -Associated Press
