"Jersey Joe Walcott turned the tables on young Joey Maxim by winning a 10 round decision over the Cleveland Italian in their return bout before a crowd estimated at 10,000 in Convention Hall tonight. Walcott took advantage of his pull in the weights and of his superior punch to try for a knockout in most sessions. Meanwhile, Maxim shook off most of Walcott's hooks or parried them on his arms, and kept up a persistent stabbing attack against Jersey Joe. Now and then Maxim moved into close quarters and gave Walcott an unexpected body beating. There was no knockdowns and no bloodshed." -United Press
