"Denny Moyer stopped veteran Paddy DeMarco after he knocked him down and left him dazed with 2:51 gone in the 10th and final round here last night. The Portland youngster, only 19, held a slight edge in weight at 149 1/2 in the welterweight bout. DeMarco, former lightweight champion from Brooklyn, N.Y., weighed 146 1/2. Moyer inflicted a bad cut on DeMarco's forehead early in the battle. He held a sizable edge all the way, countering the charging attack of DeMarco with clever punching. Moyer never appeared hurt, although he had a slight nose bleed in the 9th." -Associated Press
