Schmeling "cut the Basque's face to ribbons and had him blinded, bleeding and groggy at the finish. Most of the crowd of 40,000 roared its approval of the black-haired Teuton terror as he left the ring unmarked and fresh as a daisy." (UP).
Schmeling injured his right hand in the 5th round. And Uzcudun carried his right arm in a sling for the next six weeks.
