"Archie Moore, the old brushed-off light heavyweight contender, stepped up and knocked off one of the ranking heavyweights, Clarence Henry, 24, by a unanimous decision Thursday night. The reputed thunderbolt of Henry never once struck during the 10 rounds before 7,000 fans in Memorial Stadium. Instead, it was the 35 year old Moore who shot the hard ones all the way while Henry had to take oxygen from a tank in the 91 degree heat. Henry's nose bled from the 2nd round on and it stained Moore's white trunks pink." -Associated Press
