Mederos was downed for a count of three by a looping left hook. A few seconds later the 20 year old Toronto fighter drove Mederos into the ropes and floored him with a right cross. Referee Jim Braddock, former heavyweight champion of the world, reached a count of four when Mederos regained his feet." -Associated Press
