"It was the Cuban who did most of the leather-throwing. He forced the issue from the start, stabbing his heavier foe with constant left jabs, then alternating his offense with sweeping bolo punches to the stomach. On several occasions, Villemain had to retreat as Gavilan sent punches to the Frenchman's midsection. This observer gave the nod to the aggressive Gavilan by a 5-3-2 margin." -Frank Elkins, The New York Times
