Collins dominated Giardello with his left jab. Giardello bled from his nose, and small cuts around both eyes. In the 7th, Giardello landed a solid left hook to the body, which doubled up Collins, but he was unable to follow up. In the 8th, a right-left combo wobbled Giardello. Collins then battered Giardello into the ropes, where referee Vern Bybee stopped the bout.
Giardello protested the stoppage, and was promptly fined $75 by the California State Athletic Commission.
