A right-hook from Lewis went astray, and Johnson took the opportunity to send his right to the jaw. Lewis missed when he jumped in with both hands at the start of the third-round. Johnson scared with a long-left, and also countered very effectively when Lewis shot his leading land to the chin. Johnson opened the fourth-round with two light-lefts to the head, and again clipped Lewis. Four times in quick succession Johnson's left reached Lewis' face, but near the end Lewis stabbed with his left and just grazed Johnson's chin with a right. Lewis tried hard in the sixth-round, but even in close-quarters he could only accomplish very little due to Johnson's great defence. At the end of the sixth-round, after the bell had sounded and Johnson had turned to his corner, Lewis jumped after him and hit him, and act which caused some uproar. In the seventh, Lewis jumped in to score on the body with both hands, and Johnson soon retaliated with a straight-left and right-cross, and near the end shook Leiws with a left-hook to the jaw. In the eighth-round, Lewis did well in a spell of in-fighting, but often received Johnson's left on his head. The fight ended in the ninth round, when Lewis complained of a damage hand and ultimately gave up the contest, with Lewis' corner throwing the towel in. The action from Lewis' seconds caused some surprised, although there was no doubt that Lewis was in a bad way, after the continuous prodding he received from Johnson's left-hand throughout the fight.
