"The middleweight title hopes of Anton Christoforidis were browned out today by a 10th round TKO scored by Steve Belloise of New York. Belloise jabbed and rapped at the Geneva, Ohio, fighter for most of the way last night at Olympia, occasionally landing a hard right to the face. Shortly after the final stanza opened, Belloise uncorked a flurry of punches that buckled Anton's knees. he refused to go down until Belloise lande a smash behind the ear. The loser had one hand on the floor and his legs were wobbling when referee Clarence Dunn stepped in to end the fight at 2:15." -United Press
