Woodcock Wins on Foul But Loses World Title Bid
Bruce Woodcock won after Savold was disqualified for a below the chest hit in the 4th round at Harringay arena. The 11,000 crowd booed as Savold, lauded as Louis’s rightful challenger, deserved better, while Woodcock appeared unfit for the world title in postfight reviews. Savold showed grit and was deemed the better man by several ringsiders. The referee would have warned Savold once more if Woodcock had not stayed down in agony.
