Williams Draws With Turner In Eight Round Thriller
JERSEY CITY New Jersey Williams battled to an eight round draw with Chief Turner before about 2 500 fans. The bout had no official decision but writers called it a true draw as both fighters exchanged hard rights and body blows. Turner pressed the late rounds while Williams stayed resilient and unmarked, with near-knockdowns and fast exchanges throughout the frantic tempo. Williams plans a Philadelphia bout with Bartley Madden on New Year’s Day as promoter plans more matches this month. Lew Tendler also set for a New Year bout with Rocky Kansas in Philadelphia.
