"Calm, counter-punching Don Fullmer, 163, of West Jordan, Utah, derailed Joe DeNucci's comeback and title shot aspirations with a unanimous 10-round decision at Boston Garden. DeNucci, 164, of Newton, Mass., had won six straight after returning to the ring and hoped to beat Don and get a shot at big brother Gene Fullmer, the NBA middleweight champion. Many in the near-capacity crowd of 13,640 booed the action, which was slower and had more clinches than the furious pace of the earlier bouts on the card." -Associated Press
