- Date: 1951-07-10
- Location: Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City, Missouri, USA
- Referee: Benny Kessler
Both boxers purses were held up after the bout because commissioner Randall Jessie felt the bout had a suspicious ending. Hudson went down without being hit, he then got up and was hit with the knockout blow. Actually, according to THE RING, October 1951, page 43, the fight was stopped by Referee Benny Kessler "when Hudson went down from a light tap." Kessler refused to count and halted the fight.
