Pre-fight comment
- "If I win I expect to challenge Mando Ramos by the end of this year." -Ruben Navarro
"Unbeaten Ruben Navarro of East Los Angeles, stopped Nigerian knockout artist Ray Adigun at 1:08 of the 10th round Thursday night. Navarro, a slight underdog, surprised the 4,000 fans at the Olympic Auditorium by electing to slug it out with the 8th ranked lightweight. The 21 year old Navarro knocked Adigun down in the 3rd round with a right hand. In the 10th he caught Adigun with another hard right to the head that decked the Nigerian for an eight count. Adigun got up stunned but was finished moments later with another hard right. Referee Dick Young halted the affair without bothering to count." -Pasadena Star-News
