"Bleeding from a bad eye wound, Lou Nova, California heavyweight, rallied Friday night to knock out Jimmy Robinson, Philadelphia, in the 3rd round of a scheduled 10 round bout. Robinson bothered Nova with a sharp right hook in the 1st round which he won. In the 2nd Robinson scored twice with his right. The second blow opened a deep cut over Nova's left optic. Opening the 3rd, Robinson sank a hard right to the pit of Nova's stomach. But the Californian came roaring in and within a few seconds dropped Robinson for a nine-count with a terrific right to the jaw. Robinson came up groggy and went right back down on his face for the full count." -Associated Press
