"Emile Griffith showed dazzling footwork and speed of hand Monday night in winning a unanimous decision over Argentina's Jorge Fernandez in a 10 round non-televised match at MSG. There were no knockdowns in this hard-fought rematch of a disputed June 3rd battle that almost touched off a riot at St. Nicholas Arena. The New Yorker jumped into an early lead, prancing around the ring and then opening up with quick combinations. After the 6th round, Fernandez lost the initiative to Griffith who began to speed it up again." -Associated Press
