"In disposing so thoroughly, so artistically, so sensationally, of the dangerous Belloise in their Yankee Stadium meeting, Robinson turned in one the finest all-around performances of his career. "

"It was Ray Robinson's 100th professional bout..,"

"The finish came dramatically. Up to the time of the knockout...the Bronxite had a chance, because many times during the mill he had made things uncomfortable for Sugar Ray."

"Both rivals fired left hooks simultaneously. Belloise's missed. Robinson's didn't..."

"Steve reeled backward and sat down...with his back against the ropes. He was still there when the gong clanged at the count of five..."

"The rest period was half gone when Manager Eddie Walker...signalled to Referee Eddie Joseph that the bout was over..."
