"One of the largest crowds in border boxing history saw Mexican bantamweight champ Chucho Castillo knock out Seiichi Watanuki in the 4th round of their scheduled 10 rounder at Plaza Monumental. Castillo caught Watanuki's best blows with his arms and shoulders, countering the Oriental's boring-in style with effective left jabs and counter-punches. 'I set him up in the 2nd and 3rd rounds with body punches and I knocked him out with a straight right to the jaw', Castillo said." -El Paso Herald Post
