Johnny Wilson
July 1, 1920 - (Newark, NJ): Johnny Wilson (52-14-4) vs Soldier Bartfield (16-6-1) in a non-decision bout. If Wilson does not go the distance, Bartfield will be the new champion. As George Chip did before him, Wilson fights a non-decision against Bartfield, a journeyman with many ND fights on his resume. Wilson is clearly superior and has his way with Bartfield, knocking him down four times in the fight. It's to Bartfield's credit that he does not get knocked out, but in the fourteenth, the referee stops the fight as Bartfield's right eye has swollen shut.
Historic result: Wilson ND Bartfield
