4 Henry Cooper

Liston is the clear-cut favourite to win this group, Jones, the canadian Cleroux and englishman Henry Cooper will compete fo the second place on the following round. London and Bygraves seems to be a step backwards.

As it was expected Liston stopped four of his rivals and gave Robert Cleroux a real beating in spite of not stopping him. The canadian Cleroux won the second place on the second round with his victory against Doug Jones in spite of strugling on his first fight against little regarded Bygraves. Good performance by Brina London and bad tournament for Cooper.
