"Middleweight Willie 'The Worm' Monroe scored a controversial unanimous decision over Billy 'Dynamite' Douglas of Columbus, Ohio, Monday, in a decision that drew irate calls from the crowd. Douglas floored Monroe in the 8th round with a roundhouse right and the Philadelphian stayed down for the mandatory eight count. But Monroe apparently built up a large enough lead with his jabs and counter-punches in the early rounds to take the decision." -Associated Press
