"Bob Satterfield, giving away half a head in height and 32 pounds in weight, outsped gigantic Nino Valdes of Cuba over 10 rounds last night to punch out a unanimous decision in the television battle from Chicago Stadium. Satterfield never backed up during the brawl. But his power punches which had carried him to 30 knockouts in 60 fights were unavailing until the last round. Then, after he had missed with one punch and fallen to the canvas, he got up and caught Valdes with a left hook to the jaw which sent him sprawling. Valdes grabbed the ropes and was on his feet at the count of five. At the eight count, referee Frank Sikora let the battle begin again and Valdes was staggering into combat, bleeding from the nose and lips. But he weathered Satterfield's attack to finish the bout." -United Press
