"Henry Hank won a unanimous 10 round decision over Chic Calderwood, the British light heavyweight king. Hank pounded Calderwood to the canvas with body punches in the 3rd round and turned Chic's face into a bloody mask late in their fight Friday night. He had to endure a sharp, stabbing left hand that popped off his face all night to do it, but Detroiter Hank's crowding tactics and overhand rights made the difference." -Associated Press
