"Featherweight Don Johnson, 126 1/4, of Los Angeles scored a TKO over former world bantamweight champion Jimmy Carruthers, 126, of Australia at the end of the 5th round of a scheduled 12 round fight Friday night. It was the first time in his career Carruthers had been stopped. Exhausted by Johnson's heavy body punching, the Australian could not muster enough strength to come out for the 6th round." -Associated Press
