Ralph Jones 157 lbs lost to Joey Giardello 159 lbs by UD in round 10 of 10

"Middleweight contender Joey Giardello used countering left hooks and straight rights to outpoint Ralph (Tiger) Jones again Friday night and stretch his unbeaten run to 14 straight bouts. Fighting before a sell-out crowd of 3,551 at the Miami Beach Auditorium, Giardello of Brooklyn beat Jones of St. Albans, N.Y., more impressively than in their first fight in 1954. Giardello, the 4-1 favorite, scored the only knockdown of the bout when he dropped Jones to one knee with a left-right combination to the jaw in the 3rd round. The Tiger was up at the count of two and took the mandatory eight-count on his feet." -United Press
