"Jorge Fernandez of Argentina zoomed toward a welterweight title shot tonight by slugging out an upset unanimous 10 round decision over high-ranking Denny Moyer of Portland, Ore., in New York's first nationally televised Saturday night bout. Fernandez carried the fight in nearly every round to his opponent. Moyer outboxed the harder hitting Fernandez in the 2nd and 7th sessions, but it was Fernandez' solid blows to the body and his left hooks to the head that did the most damage throughout. There were no knockdowns, but Moyer's legs were buckled by a right to the chin in the 4th round and he was rocked by left hooks to the head in the 3rd and 5th." -United Press International
