"World welterweight champion Emile Griffith, 149, of New York came on fast in the late rounds Monday night to gain a unanimous 10-round decision over Eddie Pace, 148 1/2, of Los Angeles in a non-title fight at the International Center. Pace, once a sparring partner for Griffith, fought gamely and had the fans on his side. But the champion turned on the speed in the 6th round and controlled the fight the rest of the way." -Associated Press
