"Archie Moore, 167, of St. Louis, came back last night after having been floored twice, to take a unanimous 10 round decision from Lloyd Marshall, 166 1/2, of Cleveland, in the main event at the Coliseum. Moore went down for eight counts in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, but the fight was all his from the 5th round on, and he had the Cleveland fighter groggy at the final bell. A capacity crowd was kept at a high pitch the entire 10 rounds by the fight - the most gruelling seen here in recent years." -Associated Press
