"Don Cockell, British light heavyweight champion, won tonight on a low-blow disqualification in the 7th round of a 10 rounder with Lloyd Marshall of Cleveland. Referee Sam Russell ruled that Marshall had floored Cockell with a wild-swinging left below the belt. While Cockell writhed in pain on the canvas, Marshall danced up and down shaking his fist at the referee and protesting vigorously. The time was 1:10. Cockell himself had been warned earlier in the fight for hitting low. The Briton had slightly the better of the fast-moving scrap." -Associated Press
