Cane vs Lewis...
Union Cane, USA, 3-0-0 (3) vs. John Henry Lewis, USA, 5-0-0 (3)
Lewis has been inactive since November 1952, and is coming into a hard fight after a long layoff. Lewis’ handlers probably should have taken some easier bouts before stepping into the ring with such a quality opponent. Cane is in excellent shape and is probably catching Lewis at a good time. Lewis is showing the effects of his inactivity as he cannot avoid the crisp punches, 15-4, from Cane in the 1st. Cane controls the 2nd round, 11-7, although the pace has slowed down a bit. Lewis and Cane split rounds 3 and 4. Lewis shows up in round 5 with a 15-3 advantage. Lewis seems to have taken the momentum of the fight. Round 7 is the best round of the fight thus far, as both fighters exchange blows. Cane is stunned by a wicked uppercut. Cane has a great 8th, 17-6, and hurts Lewis. Lewis has developed a mouse under his left eye. A big 9th for Cane, 23-4, as Lewis is hurt again. Cane seems to be winning the fight right now. Lewis looks fatigued but comes out firing a barrage of fights and knocks down Cane at the end of the 10th. In an amazing turn of events, Cane is unable to get up and Lewis wins the fight! Lewis has a successful return to the ring even though he needs better conditioning and more ring work and Union Cane suffers the first loss of his professional career.
