"Showing flashes of the form that made him almost unbeatable five or six years ago, Dave Shade took a close decision over Ben Jeby, young east side middleweight, in a 12-round bout in MSG Friday night. Shade sewed it up by taking the final frame, when he opened up and traded punches with the rugged east-sider. Dave had saved up a bit here and there as he went along to make this final splurge, and it came in very handy, indeed." -Altoona Mirror
