"In the feature 10 round main event, Erubey 'Chango' Carmona, the lightweight champion of Mexico, scored a KO over Antonio Amaya, Panama, in the 7th round. The early rounds were quite even. Amaya dumped Carmona for the mandatory eight count in the 2nd round. However, from then on, Chango took more chances and traded punch for punch with Amaya. Starting with the 5th round, it was obvious that Carmona was taking charge. He scored with some good lefts and rights to the head. In the 7th round, Carmona started scoring at will and finally at the 1:47 mark of the 7th, the referee stopped the fight. Amaya took a beating, with his face a mess." -Ring Magazine, October, 1971 issue
