"Lightweight contender Jimmy Heair won a unanimous 10 round decision over Javier Muniz Thursday night at the Olympic Auditorium, apparently earning Heair a title bout against WBC champ Guts ishimatsu. There were no knockdowns, but Heair survived a rough 3rd round when Muniz appeared to hit at will. Good 9th and 10th rounds clinched the victory for Heair." -Associated Press

• The AP reported that Heair had been promised a title shot at Guts Ishimatsu, provided he got past Muniz. However, any promise was immaterial as the Japanese champion lost his lightweight title in his next title defense in May of '76 to Esteban Dejesus.
