"Joey Giambra won an unpopular split decision over Italo Scortichini in last night's 10 round cross-country race at MSG. Giambra even disappointed his manager, Tex Sullivan, although Tex thought he won all the way. Scortichini confused Giambra, the No. 8 ranking middleweight, by backing away and circling, first one way and then the other. From this corner, Scortichini seemed to outfox Joey, throwing him off-stride." -Associated Press
