5,000 fans voiced their emphatic dissaproval of the ending of the Robert-Brown fiasco scheduled as the ten round headliner. Brown went down in the second round, claiming a foul from a light left to the body and was counted out much to the disgust of the gathering. Brown went in and clowned, "cutied", stalled and posed and the willing but inexperienced Robert, eager to make a good showing, unconsiously helped serve Brown's purpose by his over-anxiety, and at times his bewilderment was plainly obvious when Brown's methods put him off stride. One of Brown's rare hard wallops was so unexpected that the looping wallop to the head caught Robert off balance and put him down for a count in the first round but he got up while the crowd roared their delight.
