"Light heavyweights Eddie 'Bossman' Jones of Los Angeles and Rudiger Schmidtke of West Germany fought to an unpopular 10 round draw Friday night, with the German battling grimly for most of the fight with a broken right arm. A crowd estimated at 5,000 was strongly behind Schmidtke whose home is in Frankfurt. But the decision was greeted with boos, and even Schmidtke's manager said he thought the American had won." -Associated Press
