ROUND 1 Hogan shot a left to the eye and Wolgast clinched. At the breaking Hogan put another fast left to the mouth and in a clinch Wolgast punched the stomach with a short right. Then breaking away again, Wolgast drove a left to the nose, Hogan respond- ing with both hands on the head. Wolgast stood in close for a mix-up and reached the body with several uppercuts. Hogan retreated, but stabbed with the left and also blocked with the right. Then he suddenly cut loose with a straight right hander on the jaw and sent Wolgast to the ropes. He followed with a rush and rained the blows on Wolgast's head until the latter was in trouble. But the bell rang just as Wolgast managed to clinch.

ROUND 2 Hogan was all confidence when he came up and rushed with a right on the side of the head. Wolgast tore in to his man with a terrific assault. He landed a right on the jaw and Hogan staggered. Wolgast increased his speed and rushed his man to the ropes. With left and right on the jaw he made Hogan reel like a drunken man. Wolgast was a typical wildcat then. He showed no mercy. In spite of the fact that Hogan was staggering blindly, the lightweight champion continued to rain blows upon the Californian's neck and jaw. Hogan did not have a punch left but he still had sense enough to try to protect himself. Wolgast got under his bodyguard with fearful uppercuts and also drove in tremendous body punches. Hogan's defense crumbled under this assault and he stumbled about the ring unable to avoid the punches that came his way in a stonn. "Stop it!" "Stop it!" cried hundreds of excited spectators, but Referee White did not interfere because he felt that Hogan might suddenly revive. Wolgast gradually drove the Californian over to a corner and with two great uppercuts on the jaw he made the blood appear on Hogan's lips. It was then that Hogan got a body punch and half doubled up. He was in a helpless condition and Wolgast hesitated about administering any more punishment. As Hogan was evidently blinded and about to fall, the referee stopped the one-sided battle and Wolgast was an easy winner.
