"Ismael Laguna, Panama's former world lightweight champion, has made it two straight over contender Frankie Narvaez of Puerto Rico. The lean, flashy Laguna, invading Narvaez' home territory to show his first victory 13 months ago was no fluke, was awarded a unanimous decision in 10 rounds over his foe last night. Many of the fans in the crowd of 7,040 at Hiram Bithorn Stadium booed the verdict. But the reaction was nothing like the bottle-throwing riot that followed Laguna's first victory over Narvaez at New York's MSG." -Associated Press
