"Cleveland's Jimmy Bivins hammered out his third successive decision over Curtis Sheppard, the Philadelphia hatchet man, in a bruising battle of heavyweights at the Arena Monday night. There were no knockdowns but through the final round the big Philadelphian, blood streaming from a first round cut over his left eye, barely managed to weather Bivins' slam-bang attack." -Associated Press

*The AP piece speculated that this win earned Bivins a shot at top contender Jersey Joe Walcott with the winner hopeful of getting a title shot at Joe Louis. However, Bivins met Ezzard Charles in his next bout instead, while Walcott met Elmer Ray.
