"Mexico's Baby Vasquez climbed off the canvas Thursday night to score a 10 round unanimous decision over hard-punching Jimmy Hornsby of Los Angeles at the Olympic Auditorium. Vasquez, lightweight champion of Mexico, had the underdog Hornsby in trouble and appeared headed for a sure victory when he was floored with a stiff right to the chin in the 8th round. The plucky Latin came back in the 9th with a strong attack and clinched the battle in the final round by staggering Hornsby with an effective series of combinations to the head." -United Press International
