"Baby Vasquez, the clever, hard-hitting Mexican lightweight champion, made a big hit with American boxing fans on television last night when he stopped Paolo Rosi, the quick-handed Italian from the Bronx, on a TKO in the 7th round. The two fighters stood toe to toe and slugged it out, and the crowd roared its approval. 1:55 after the start of the 7th, referee Mike Kaplan called time and steered Rosi to his corner. The commission doctor took a quick look at the two clean slashes and ordered the fight stopped. Vasquez himself was bleeding freely from a gashed ear." -Associated Press
