"Still one of the ring's great boxers, the pudgy, 34 year old Joey Maxim, 192 1/2, held Eddie Machen, 190 1/2, away for six rounds with his elusive, jabbing style. By the 7th, Machen had him figured. He rocked Joey with two left-right combinations in the 7th, bounced him off the ropes with another right and sent him to his corner bleeding freely from a cut over his left eye. In the 9th, Joey went down under a right hook to the jaw for a count of nine, and he needed all his wealth of experience to stave off Machen and last out the round." -Associated Press
