According to the Los Angeles Times, this was a very dirty fight. Hawkins began the fouling with two questionable blows in the 2nd, Godfrey retaliated with a low blow of his own. In the 3rd round, Godfrey was fouled again, and complained to the referee to no avail. In the middle of the 3rd, the two were boxing in the center of the ring, when Hawkins went down from two low punches. After an examination, Hawkins was awarded the decision.
