Wim Snoek, the brave Dutch heavyweight who also ran a popular bar in Amsterdam, shocked the Stockholm crowd by knocking down former World heavyweight champion Ingemar Johansson with a left hook in the first round. Johansson was groggy as he rose, that's not in dispute, but many felt the count was a very long one. Snoek rushed in with more hooks, but Johansson was now dancing away reducing the effect of Snoek's punches. Johansson had a small cut on his forehead as he sat down for the rest after the first round.

When Johansson got out to round 2, he looked completely recovered. With ease he blocked Snoek's predictable blows. Then in the 5th the famed right hand from Ingo dropped Snoek, and the Dutchman failed to beat the count.
