"Unranked Amos Johnson of Medina, Ohio, upset Henry Cooper in a 10 round bout Tuesday night and ruined the British heavyweight champion's hope of getting a shot at the world title next year. The 26 year old American piled up points with a strong body attack and opened a cut over Cooper's left eye in the 7th round. After inflicting the wound, Johnson dominated the bout. Referee Harry Gibbs of England paused only for a moment before walking over to Johnson to raise his hand, signifying the victory." -Associated Press
