"Yama Bahama, 154, of the West Indies tonight hammered out a unanimous 10-round decision over back-stepping Del Flanagan, 153, of St. Paul in a middleweight bout at Chicago Stadium. Flanagan, a veteran of 102 fights and a 7-5 favorite, failed to land a real solid blow throughout the rather dull nationally televised fight. He bobbed, weaved, danced and backtracked but when he tried to unleash his right, Bahama caught him with jolting lefts as he lunged in." -Associated Press
