"Brooklyn's Joey Giardello was elated believing he was back on his way to a middleweight title shot. Last night, at the Cleveland Arena, Giardello sat puffy-eyed in his dressing room after battering Bobby Lane of Miami to a TKO at 2:35 of the 7th round. And he admitted his chance at the middleweight crown is still some months away. The puffs around Joey's eyes came from the thumbs of Lane's gloves, he said. Referee Tony La Branche warned Lane several times to keep his gloves closed. And in the 3rd round round Giardello growled, "Smart guy, huh!" -Associated Press

- "Depends on what Carmen Basilio and Sugar Ray Robinson decide to do. If they don't fight again I figure I'm next in line for a title shot. I've been up near the top longer than any of them. I've waited a long time, and I can wait longer." -Joey Giardello, on a possible title shot.
