"The left jab which twice won Paul Hartnek the Chicago Golden Gloves championship just wasn't there Monday night, and Hartnek suffered a knockout in the 6th round at the hands of Lou Nova, the Van Nuys, Calif., heavyweight. Nova, who had announced before the bout that he was through with Yogi and that his 'cosmic punch' was just a press agent's dream, hammered Hartnek successfully in every round but the 3rd, when Hartnek rushed Nova into the ropes and landed a solid left hook which snapped the Californian's head back." -Associated Press
