"Bantamweight champion Enrique Pinder of Panama scored a majority decision over former champion Chucho Castillo of Mexico Tuesday night in a 10 round non-title fight at the Forum. The taller, faster Pinder, 119 1/4, speared Castillo, 119, with sharp left jabs and landed occasional hard overhand rights to the head to pile up his winning margin. The 25 year old champion was staggered from a right to the head in the 9th when he appeared to be tiring slightly from the rugged pace." -United Press International

  • "I'll fight Pinder anywhere. I'm convinced I can knock him out." -No. 1 bantamweight contender Rodolfo Martinez, who also fought on this card.
  • "I don't want anyone to go anywhere. We'd like to match Pinder and Herrera here. We think we can offer the money it will take to get Pinder to defend his title outside Panama." -Forum promoter, Don Fraser
