"Georgie Abrams was several steps nearer today to a title match with middleweight champ Tony Zale after pounding out a 10 round decision over Anton Raadik. The agile Abrams came back after taking several punishing body blows in the early rounds. Abrams, an expert boxer, held Raadik on even terms in the 4th round and won every round after that. Abrams opened a cut over Raadik's eye in the opening round. It bled intermittently throughout the match and when the fight ended, the eye was nearly closed." -United Press
