"Armando Muniz, 152, had to work hard in gaining a points verdict over tough Peter Cobblah, 153, Ghana, in a torrid 10 rounder. Muniz returned to his patented style of brawling with his opponent and Peter took advantage by landing a jolting left everytime Mando moved inside. Muniz was shaken by the blow on several occasions, but his superior conditioning paid off when Cobblah tired badly in the later frames. A 10th round flurry by Mando nearly put Peter away, but the bell came to the visitor's rescue." -International Boxing, July 1972 issue
