"The semi-final, an oddity in that it was scheduled for 9 rounds, saw Ed 'Chu Chu' Malave score a squeaker over fellow New Yorker, Harold Weston, Jr. 'Chu Chu' was slow getting started, but then got busier and in the last round Weston scampered around the ring throughout, which could have cost him the fight. The winner did score a knockdown in the 5th round." -Ring Magazine, November, 1971 issue
