 In the Mannheim Football stadium near a major American Army base, Jersey Joe Walcott brought his power to the heart of the Rhur Valley in West Germany for a dual with the German heavyweight champion Hein Ten Hoff, previously undefeated in 31 combats with 81 wins, 16 by knockout.  But the streak ended in this rain-drenched contest with the flying fists of Jersey Joe, as Ten Hoff suffered a broken nose early on and though he battled through 10 full frames, the German big man was the obvious loser to all spectators, with a unanimous decision found in favor of the American star.
