"Experience triumphed over youth in a great battle between veteran Evan Armstrong and highly-rated newcomer Vernon Sollas. The two men traded telling blows until Sollas crumpled at the end of the 8th round. Armstrong, using his years of featherweight experience, controlled the pace of the bout. He let the youngster use up his energy early until Sollas was forced to trade punches. It was Armstrong's game plan and he manipulated Sollas beautifully." -INTERNATIONAL BOXING, October 1974 issue
