• Judge: Bob Morris

"Armando Muniz crowded Jimmy Heair for the entire 12 rounds, using a combination of rights and lefts to the body and face. Heair, doing the countering, occasionally landed a right but he was outpunched by a ratio of at least 20-1. The gameness of Heair was unquestioned. He took a bad beating for the entire 12 rounds. One ringside doctor wanted to stop it after the 5th round." -El Paso Herald Post

• "I know I was beaten but I think I hurt Muniz in the 12th round. I should have started earlier." -Jimmy Heair

• "I thought I was going to put him down in the 4th, 5th and 6th rounds. But he's tough. I felt very good and was surprised that I didn't get tired. I was afraid the altitude would bother me in the latter rounds, but it didn't." -Armando Muniz
