"Irish Bob Murphy, today heads into a fight on June 27th with tough Jake LaMotta. Murphy came up last night with another sensational triumph with a TKO at 1:58 of the 4th round over Danny Nardico, a 23-year old ex-Marine from Tampa, Fla. Murphy was a slow starter against the youthful Nardico. But after losing the 1st round, he began landing with both hands and Nardico, was lucky to last into the 4th round." -United Press

Post-fight comment
- "I'm not going to do anything before that LaMotta fight, unless my manager comes up with a fight. And if he does, I'll fight. I'll fight every week if he says so. But I don't think he's figuring on anything until after Jake."
