"The fans booed from the middle of the 10 round welterweight battle until the finish but it didn't change the outcome: a unanimous decision for Ernie 'Indian Red' Lopez. Lopez, 146, Pasadena, Calif., scored heavily to the head of Bob Murray in the first few rounds with an unorthodox right hand lead. From about the 6th on, the WBA's 2nd ranked welterweight just held on, still scoring but not excitingly. Murray, 148, of San Francisco, appeared confused by the right hand lead and won only one round in the view of two of the judges." -Associated Press
