"Unheralded Solomon Boysaw, who had to wait four years for a main event, scored a unanimous decision over 3rd ranked featherweight Flash Elorde in a nationally televised 10 round bout Wednesday night at the Cleveland Arena. Boysaw took charge early and consistently connected with stiff right hand leads. Both fighters said they were not in good fighting condition because of the short training period." -United Press International

• This bout was scheduled only eight days before fight time. The article referenced that it was due to the second fight between Archie Moore and Yvon Durelle being postponed until August 12th. This would suggest that this was a TV date that needed to be filled.
