"Heavyweight contender Bob Baker of Pittsburgh, having given Cesar Brion a lop-sided beating, sought a fight today with Rex layne of Utah, "or any other heavyweight in the world." Baker had the Argentine 'iron man' on the canvas three times in their 10 round television fight at the Arena. Brion suffered two official knockdowns and one referee-ruled 'bump' to the floor. Brion came close to suffering the first knockout in his career of 49 professional fights. His own ruggedness and Baker's lack of savagery saved him." -United Press
