"Woods used a left jab to hold the bull-like rushes of his Italian foe at bay.... <br />
<br />
During the eighth round the Sarge barely missed dropping Joltin' Jake. Woods took the offensive at the outset and opened Jake's left eye with right-hand smashes. Midway during ths round, the Detroiter jolted LaMotta with a succession of rights and the Easterner held on. However, just before the bell ended the round, a barrage delivered by Jake floored Woods for a two-count.<br />
<br />
In the ninth Woods went down again for a nine-count. These two knockdowns apparently were the deciding factors in the officials' tabulations in awarding LaMotta the laurels."<br />
