Johnson Defends Title With Second Round KO Over Clay
Philadelphia native Harold Johnson retained the National Boxing Association light heavyweight title with a second round technical knockout of Von Clay. Johnson, 32, a 16-year veteran, knocked Clay down three times in the second round before referee Dave Beloit stopped the bout at 2 28. Clay, 21, had a 13 32 record and posed little threat as Johnson attributed the short defense to Clay's slow punching.
