The stoppage was verbally protested by Young's manager Sam Ichinose, who felt the bout should have been ruled a draw. The actual fight was poor, according to the Honolulu Advertiser, as Young held throughout, and was penalized the 4th round for holding. The Advertiser felt that Young was "only a hollow shell of a once great fighting machine."
