    Woodcock was floored three times in the first round and twice in the second. He made a comeback and the fifth was his best round, but Baksi was scoring at will when the referee stopped it in the seventh.

    Woodcock's jaw was broken and he was hospitalized. "He was bleeding freely from cuts around both eyes when the bout was stopped." Tacoma News Tribune (Tacoma, WA, USA)

    This was probably one of the American's best performances, "firing on all cylinders".
