Note

"Top ranking heavyweights Eddie Machen and Zora Folley failed by far to determine a clear-cut title challenger last night in their 12 round draw. Most of the crowd of 11,759, which paid a gross of $95,755 to watch the goings-on at the Cow Palace, booed lustily at dull action on occasion. Machen, rated the No. 1 contender, seemed baffled by the potent left jab of the No. 2 challenger for Floyd Patterson's crown. Eddie flurried in the closing rounds and that brought him from defeat." -Associated Press

  • This bout had been postponed from its original date of March 19th due to an injured muscle in Machen's left shoulder.

Unofficial Scorecards:

  • AP - 117-116 Folley

  • San Mateo Times - 117-115 Folley
  • Oakland Tribune - 117-115 Machen
  • San Francisco Examiner - 114-113 Folley

Post fight comment: "It was a terrible fight. Machen wasn't sharp and Folley weakened." - Joe Louis
