"Unbeaten Jimmy Heair moved to major lightweight contender status after defeating former WBC lightweight champion Chango Carmona. Heair cut Chango over the left eye in the 1st round. That cut wound up as a huge swelling when the fight was over. Carmona bloodied Heair's nose in the 3rd, a round that saw a brutal exchange on both sides. Carmona won the 3rd. He also won the 4th but needed smelling salts when it was over. After that Jimmy's fast hands were too much for him and he stunned Carmona with a left hook in the 8th round. Heair displayed tremendous improvement in destroying Carmona. The judges scored it 7-1 and 6-3 and the referee at 7-3." -International Boxing, August 1973 issue
