"The bell ending the 6th round saved Harold Green, young Brooklyn welterweight, from a certain knockout and permitted him to continue on to a unanimous 10 round decision victory over Cpl. Fritzie Zivic, 32 year old ex-champion, before 9,531 fans. Green was flat on his back in a neutral corner, and the count had reached "4" when the bell rang. Green's handlers hauled him to his corner and worked frantically and effectively to revive him. The crowd was amazed when 21 year old Green came out of his corner for the 7th, clear-headed and full of fight. Green, who had a slight weight advantage of 152 3/4 to Zivic's 151 1/4, improved his chances of getting a shot at Freddie Cochrane's welterweight title." -United Press
