"California Jackie Wilson, Los Angeles, has gained revenge for his disputed TKO loss to Tommy Bell, Youngstown, Ohio, nearly two years ago. Wilson scored a 9th round TKO victory over Bell last night. Bell, 149 1/2, was out on his feet after his manager, Al Weill of NY, asked referee Benny Whitman to stop the match. Wilson, 149, hurt Bell in the 8th and floored him twice for eight counts in the 9th." -Associated Press
