-"Harold Johnson, NBA light heavyweight champion, narrowly outpointed Eddie Machen, second ranking heavyweight contender, last night in their nationally televised non-title fight but displayed little prowess which might earn him a shot at the heavyweight crown. Referee Paul Cavaliere awarded the decision to Johnson of Philadelphia on a rounds basis, 5-4-1 and the 3,942 fans in the huge Convention Hall greeted the verdict with mingled cheers and boos. It was a comparitively dull bout although spiced with several good exchanges. However, it was Johnson who did most of the forcing and landed more of the harder punches. But Harold appeared unable to sustain any effective attacks against his smart, good-punching opponent. Johnson was bleeding badly from a gash on his right brow and from the nose at the finish." -United Press International
+*'''Unofficial AP scorecard:''' 7-3 Johnson
-*There was a return clause in the contract to be held within 40 days, however, due to Johnson's cut right eye - sustained in the 5th round - which required four stitches, the fight was postponed and never rescheduled.
