"In a bout which crowded most of its Meagher action into the last two rounds, Jimmy Bivins, Cleveland heavyweight, celebrated his eastern debut by taking a 10 round decision over Lee Savold of Paterson, NJ, at MSG tonight. There were no knockdowns and only once did Bivins land his famed sneak punch, a long right brought from nowhere. He came out of his corner to start the 9th with a rush and connected with his usually lethal wallop. Savold not only took it, but came back to carry the fight to the crouching, bobbing Clevelander. Neither man was in serious trouble at any time, and the only blood spilled came from a slight cut over Savold's right eye in the 8th round." -Associated Press
