"World featherweight champion Davey Moore counter-punched his way to a unanimous 10 round decision over Mexico's Kid Irapuato last night in a non-title fight in the bull ring. Moore, from Springfield, Ohio, had little trouble with Irapuato and had him staggering and bleeding from cuts under both eyes. The 7,000 fans provided a lively backdrop for the battle. They tossed firecrackers into the ring, and just before the main event, someone brought a huge snake and that too, went sailing into the ring. Moore suffered a small cut near the right eye in the 4th round but it caused him no trouble. There were no knockdowns." -Associated Press

• This fight was a tuneup for Moore's August 29th title defense against Kazuo Takayama in Tokyo.
