  The patrons on the island of Gothenburg thronged in record numbers for a professional fight in Sweden to see their home town favorite, the European champion Ingo Johansson, face a stout American in a 12-round non-title contest.  The previously unbeaten Californian heavyweight Eddie Machen was knocked down repeatedly before Johansson, himself undefeated in 20 professional bouts, scored a knockout two and a quarter minutes into the 1st round.  Ingo would then seek his greatest challenge, the world championship, held by the fierce American Floyd Patterson, in the Bronx the next June.
  The longest contest on the undercard, an 8-round affair between 2 American big men, Baltimore's Bert Whitehurst and another Californian Ben Wise, made up for the brevity of the headliners' contest, with a back and forth battle that untimately was called a draw.  Of the 4 middling matches filling the late evening's entertainment, Kungshamn-born Swedish heavyweight Thorner Ahsman took the unanimous decision after 6 over the hapless Argentine Romero, and Edgardo Jose hung up his gloves for good.  In a pairing of light heavies, the German journeyman Albert Duscha of Herne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, faced the young but capable Swede Lennart Risberg in a 6-frame duel, and went down in every round until the bout was stopped in the 3rd, giving Risberg his 2nd win in 2 appearances.  In the other two 6-rounders, another veteran out of Nordrhein-Westfalen, Hans Friedrich, was the victor over the Ghanan heavyweight Joey Armstrong, and the future European titlist and world contender at light welterweight Willy Quator, also from the German north Rhine state, decisioned Gothenburg's own Leif Wadling and the Swede retired soon after.
