			"Champion Archie Moore came from behind Wednesday night to floor younger Harold Johnson of Philadelphia once and score a TKO at :56 seconds of the 14th round of their light-heavyweight title fight before 8,327 in MSG. Moore registered his 3rd defense of the 175 lb. crown and his 19th consecutive victory when he staggered the muscular young challenger from Philadelphia with two straight rights to the head, then battered him into a corner and dropped him for a count of four. He swarmed over the swaying challenger until Referee Ruby Goldstein stepped in and stopped the bout. Moore not only came from behind, but he survived a 10th round knockdown, when Harold dropped him to his gloves and knees near the bell." -United Press

+NEW YORK, Aug. 12 (AP) — A spectacular "called shot" technical knockout over able Harold Johnson in the 14th round added luster to light heavyweight champion Archie Moore's great record today.
-Referee Ruby Goldstein erred during the two knockdowns during the fight. Forgetting that the 8 count knockdown ruled was waived during a championship fight, during the 10th round when Johnson dropped Moore, Moore arose at "3" but instead of waving Johnson on, Goldstein took the count to "6" before the bell rang.

+Now the 37½-year-old fistic marvel will seek to fatten his bankroll with a September 23 title fight in Omaha against either [[Joey Maxim]] or [[Jimmy Slade]].
