	"Johnny Persol won an upset, but unanimous decision over former light heavyweight champion Harold Johnson in a lively 10 rounder at the Garden Friday night. Johnson, slow and ring rusty, was making his first start in ~~two~~ months. He missed often and was tagged by lead right hands to the head in the first half of the fight. This showed he was off form. But he rallied strongly in the second half and almost pulled out a victory. There were no knockdowns but it was an exciting fight all the way with Johnson going to the unusual extreme - for him - of trading often with his younger and faster rival from New York."
