 Ridgeway was completely out classed. The first round had scarce ly begun before Chocolate floored him with a right to the chin for a count of nine. A moment later a left hook tore open his right eyelid and q stream of blood coursed down his face, He was holding des- perately as the round ended. In the second round, Chocolate fcinted Ridgeway into an opening and then dropped him for nine with another right to the chin. Another furry of punches sent the Jersey boy to the floor for nine more Game Ridgeway got to his feet only to run into another right to the chin that floored him for nine more. He clambered to his feet again but the referee halted the fight since Ridgeway clearly was una blc to defend himself.
 Chocolate weighed 126 3-4 to 125 for Ridgeway, whose normal fight ing weight is 132 pounds.
 In the semi-fnal, Wolgast 119 gave Bill 109 1-2, a terrific trounc- ing, taking t2 of the 5 rounds in the opinion of some ringsidc critics
