Williams did well, scored a knockdown in the 2nd and the victory was never in doubt. Williams moves up to #8.

WW: Johnny Bratton 16-0 (8) KO 4 Monte Anderson 10-9-3 (4)
Bratton is starting to look like a big factor in the welterweight division with another crushing perfomance, as he remains at #6.

LW: Art Aragon 18-0 (8) UD 8 Brian Burch 9-9-3 (1)
Aragon had his trouble, but in the end he scored a wide decision as he overtakes Maxie Docusen for the #2 spot.

MW: Carl Olson 21-1 (13) TKO (cuts) Vern Lester 8-4-3
Carl Olson cut Lester with a big right early in the 2nd, and the fight was stopped later in the same round as Olson is still #2 in the middleweight ranks.

Main Event

FW: Willie Pep 25-0 (16) KO 3 Chris Davis 10-4-1 (1)
Pep made the pretty tough Davis look like a bum. He outboxed, outfought, out-everythinged Davis and won the fight with a great combination. Pep is still #1 both in Featherweight and Pound-4-Pound.
