"The counter-punching Holly Mims of Washington floored Charley Green of Los Angeles in the 1st round last night and then withstood a 9th round knockdown to win a unanimous decision in their 10 round bout at the St. Louis Arena. Mims caught Green with a left hook in the 1st round and the west coast fighter took an eight count. Green, whose nose started bleeding in the 5th, then put on a hot rally in the 9th that sent Mims sprawling through the ropes for a nine count. It was only the second time he has been on the floor. But Mims came back to win the last round on all three official cards." -Associated Press
