Tommy Jackson 198 lbs beat George Logan 198 lbs by UD in round 10 of 10

"On top from the 3rd round to the end, Hurricane Jackson, 188, showed Boise fans how he came by his name. He was perpetual motion all the time. The pattern for the whole of the fight was set in the 2nd round when, after one of George Logan's lefts to the body rocked the New Yorker, he switched to the head against a man who had the sense to see Logan's eyes was his Achilles heel. Left after left sneaked out from the body of Jackson and their effect soon became apparent. In the 4th, Jackson whipped off Logan's plastic eye patch and grease, in the 5th he puffed up Logan's right eye and in the 6th he sliced open George's left eye like a ripe tomato. A late rally by a battered and bloody Logan, 198, failed to pull the fight out of the fire." -Idaho Free Press

  • In Logan's previous fight - a win over Ezzard Charles - he received 26 stitches about the eyes.
  • Jackson had been barred from boxing by the NBA after his 1957 loss to Eddie Machen because he was, "In danger of serious injury if he continued boxing." This fight was made in Idaho because the state was not a member of the NBA.
