January 1958

JANUARY 1958 RING:
Monday 30, September 1957
Sydney Stadium, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Ernie Hughes 172 8 5 1 W DQ 8/12 Karl Machain 180 9 9 1
Bill Woolsey 170½ 2 0 0 W PTS 4/4 Heli Ecker 175 0 6 0

A week after Bull Hughes lost to Assogna, Hughes took on Carl Marchin as Karl was calling himself down under. Karl/Carl controlled the fight up into the 8th round on points in a "scrambling fight". But then, Machain, known for his less than clean fighting style which got him banned from his home Austria, was disqualified for butting by referee Ronnie James.

The Bill Woosley vs Heli Ecker I found no reference to in the Ring issue. Files for them included for what they are worth with this post.
