"Monday night, featherweight champion Davey Moore met a 21 year old Venezuelan scrapper named Carlos Hernandez in a non-title fight at Caracas and absorbed the first knockout loss of his career. Hernandez, unbeaten and unranked, floored Moore six times and fractured the jaw of the champion from Springfield, Ohio, on his way to a 7th round TKO. Moore went into the ring as a strong favourite and emerged with the worst licking of his career. Hernandez, who weighed 130 to Moore's 127 1/4, scored his first two knockdowns in the 3rd round. The second time he hit the canvas, Davey was saved by the bell." -United Press International
