    That was an improvement on the first fight because 7-10 Jones decked 27-0 Williams twice.

    Then was about to get knocked out himself when the fight was called off because Marciano lastarza fight needed to start on time


    As far as I'm concerned that is a total robbery..the fight should have been allowed to continue the required rounds
    Williams got hosed

    Still it sounds quite a disappointing assignment for a 27-0 prospect looking to make a big splash on a NewYork championship fight card. Getting decked twice by a 7-10 ham and egger and having the fight cut to four rounds. Farcical event if ever there was one.
