	"Wednesday night at the Miami Beach Auditorium, 27 year old John Holman, Chicago, launched a thunderous surprise attack in the 9th round to stop Ezzard Charles, a 4-1 favorite, on a TKO. Holman dropped Charles in the 1st round with a right behind the left ear but the 33 year old former champ was up at the count of three and immediately took command of the fight. Charles hurt Holman with a consistent body attack and was leading on all cards when the fight went into the 9th round. Then a sudden left-right-left barrage by Holman staggered Charles and another left flattened him for a count of nine. Referee Eddie Coachman stopped the fight at 2:48 of the 9th after Holman had nailed Charles with three straight solid rights to the head and seemed on the verge of putting the ex-champ down for good." -Associated Press		"Wednesday night at the Miami Beach Auditorium, 27 year old John Holman, Chicago, launched a thunderous surprise attack in the 9th round to stop Ezzard Charles, a 4-1 favorite, on a TKO.
