The fight was stopped because Beshore suffered a badly cauliflowered ear. Freddie had fought to the limit with all he had. Though badly punished at close range fighting, he never stepped back..Except for occasional rallies by Beshore, the match was decidedly one sided and lacking in thrills." (Nat Fleischer in The Ring, October 1950, page 3.) Beshore was not off of his feet in this fight and lived up to his reputation for toughness.

Charles scored the knockout with a left and a right. Beckwith's head hit the floor with a thud and Booker was out cold for three minutes. Charles was too busy for Beckwith throughout the fight and landed 75% of the punches. It was not as good a fight as had been anticipated as Beckwith became cautious when he found himself being badly outpointed.
