"British and Commonwealth welterweight champion Colin Jones was disqualified for an illegal punch in the 3rd round Thursday night in a fight against American Curtis 'The Razor' Ramsey. The sensational end to the scheduled 10-round match culminated in a body barrage of punches thrown by the 22-year-old Welshman which left Ramsey writhing in agony on the canvas. The official decision was that Jones had hit the 23-year-old from Oregon while he was coming up from the floor." -United Press International
Post-fight comment
- "There is no way he should have been disqualified. If Colin struck him at all, it was just a glancing blow and Ramsey should have been given time to recover and then told to fight on." -Eddie Thomas, Jones' manager
