"Charles (Sonny) Liston, 9th ranked heavyweight contender from Philadelphia, scored an eighth round technical knockout over surprisingly stubborn Ernie Cab of Brooklyn Tuesday night. Firing his best shots at Cab early in the scheduled 10 round fight with no apparent success, Liston resorted to a cutting left jab. He sliced Cab's left eye and the bridge of his nose in the second and kept battering away at the bloody target until the commission doctor ordered a halt at the end of the seventh." - Associated Press
