"Johnny Summerlin of Detroit won a TKO over Vern Escoe of Toronto Thursday night after knocking him down twice in the 3rd round. Summerlin, weighing 189, sent Escoe, 186, to the canvas for an eight-count, then dropped him again just before the bell. Dr. David Lentini, State Boxing Commission physician, refused to let Escoe return for the 4th round because of a bad cut over his eye." -United Press
