"Ezzard Charles, 190, took a big step on the comeback trail Wednesday night as he scored a knockout over young Coley Wallace in 2:43 of the 10th round. Making a punching bag of his bigger foe, Charles completely dominated the bout from start to finish. There weren't many damaging punches thrown until the 8th round. Then Wallace went down for a nine-count from a jarring straight right to the jaw. Charles was after him like a tiger, but couldn't land the KO blow in that round. They sparred around in the 9th, but in the 10th a volley of blows to the head sent the 201 lb., 9th ranked Wallace to the canvas again for nine. He got up and tried to hang on but when Ezzard caught him again he sank to the canvas and referee Frankie Brown raised Charles' hand without making a count." -United Press

Post fight comments

* "Coley is very strong inside and throws every punch for the knockout. I think that is part of his trouble. He throws his punches so full that he can't recover in time to prevent being hit." -Ezzard Charles

* "We love San Francisco. A Charles-Marciano title fight would be a natural here. Charles and Rocky would put on a scrap that would be a throwback to the old days." -Jake Mintz, Charles' co-manager

* "In my amateur days I fought Rocky Marciano and, despite his improvement, I think the way Charles fought tonight he can take care of Rocky in five rounds." -Coley Wallace
