  • "Mickey Walker, world's middleweight champion, failed to knock out Paul Berlenbach, one-time world's light heavyweight champion, but had no trouble winning the decision in 10 savage rounds tonight. Walker, conceding 11 1/4 pounds in weight, gave Berlenbach an unmerciful beating. He floored him in the 4th, falling on top of him when he followed through on his terrific left hook to the chin. From then on, Berlanbach was on the receiving end. Walker rarely missed left hooks to the body. His rights cracked against Paul's chin with distressing effect. Paul made occasional flurries, for the most part he plodded forward, absorbing those terrific wallops without batting an eye." -Associated Press
