Smith, a 2-1 favorite, nearly ended the fight in the 1st round when he nailed Middleton with a crunching right to the jaw, then followed seconds later with another right that put him on the canvas. &quot;I hurt my hand when I knocked him down,&quot; Smith said, &quot;and I was looking for the one shot to end it.&quot; Several almost did - at least two rights in the 2nd and another in the 3rd. But the one that did came in the closing seconds of the 5th. It was a short right that caught Middleton flush on the chin. He went down with a thud, landing flat on his face, rolled over and was counted out by referee Dick Young. Official time was 2:58 of the 5th.&quot; -The L.A. Times<br /> <br /> *Howard Smith was a substitute for Pedro Lovell, who was scheduled to fight Middleton on May 14th at the Anaheim Convention Center, but withdrew due to a stomach ulcer.<br /> <br /> *Smith revealed he had chipped a bone in his right hand 6 weeks earlier while sparring with Ken Norton in New York while Norton was preparing for his bout with Jerry Quarry.<br /> <br /> Post fight comments<br /> <br /> * &quot;His right hand had a big knot on it, but we couldn&#039;t turn down the fight.&quot; -Harry Kabakoff, Smith&#039;s manager, on accepting the fight.<br /> <br /> * &quot;I&#039;ve been sharper, but I&#039;m very satisfied.&quot; -Howard Smith</div>
