Sugar Ray Robinson vs Holly Mims

---

"Sugar Ray Robinson pounded out a 10-round unanimous decision over tough and aggressive Holly Mims of Washington, DC, tonight in his first fight since winning the middleweight championship. The 23-year-old Mims, who had to drink several glasses of water at the weighing in ceremonies to come in over the 160-pound limit, opened an old cut over Robinson's left eye in the first round and surprised the champion several times by coming out of a crouch and scoring with lefts and rights to the jaw. Ray scored his only knockdown in the second round with a right and left to the head, but Mims was not seriously damaged. Mims was the aggressor most of the way." - Associated Press
