"Fledgling Gil Turner beat bolo-punching Beau Jack at his own game tonight to win the unanimous 10 round decision over the former lightweight champion before 6,094 fans at the Arena. Turner, a 6-5 underdog because of his inexperience, made up for it with a smashing two-fisted attack to the head that caught Jack continuously as he bored in. The 20 year old Gil, going 10 rounds for the first time in his 18 bout pro career, shook up the 30 year old Jack in the late rounds with hard rights to the head." -United Press
