"Fast-punching Benny (Kid) Paret of Cuba Monday night made it two straight over Victor (Bullet) Zalazar by soundly whipping the lean Argentine in a 10 round slugfest at St. Nicholas Arena. A month ago Paret gained a split decision over Zalazar in the same arena. The Cuban whirlwind proved it was no fluke by earning the unanimous decision over the 23 year old Zalazar. There were no knockdowns in the action-packed fight but Paret twice staggered his rival and was staggered once himself. Both were bruised and lumped around the eyes." -Associated Press
