"Oscar Bonavena of Argentina knocked out Leroy Caldwell of Milwaukee at 1:00 of the 2nd round of a scheduled 10 rounder Monday. Bonavena, making his first ring appearance since losing to former world champ Floyd Patterson, took Caldwell out with a flurry of blows to the head and body. Caldwell circled the ring at a furious pace in the 1st round but finally went down from a roundhouse left to the midsection shortly before the bell. He barely made it to his feet at the count of nine. Bonavena was stung by a surprise right to the face early in the 2nd round, but soon crowded his opponent into a neutral corner and put him away. Caldwell was counted out flat on his face." -United Press International
