"Light heavyweight Archie Moore had little trouble polishing off Abel Cestac of Argentina last night. Cestac's 223 pounds, topping Moore by 43 pounds, worked to his disadvantage in the 10 rounder, and he was gamely hanging on as the fight ended, close to a knockout. Moore used hard lefts to the face for the first six frames, then got both fists into action in the remaining rounds and had Cestac, his nose bleeding, lumbering out of the way." -Associated Press
