Robinson dynamited the "Rock" Jean Stock without even mussing his hair. Robinson, the prodigious champion, made Stock "disappear in less than two rounds" the sporting paper L'Equipe headlined.
"It is a god of the ring we saw last night" Le Parisien's sports wroter said. "Robinson is a fighter unique of his kind, a sort of scared monster of the ring of fearful power, speed and punch."
Stock, himself, said the left to the head which Robinson landed in the first round was "the hardest punch I have ever felt." - "After that I couldn't breathe and didn't even know where I was" Stock added.
The Paris correspondent of The LondonDaily Telegraph appeared more interested in the fate of Robinson's future European opponents. He said a society for the prevention of cruelty should stop Robinson from fighting any current European talent "in the interests of humanity".
