Bobby Covino 168 lbs lost to Walter Opshinsky 164 lbs by TKO in round 10 of 10

• Date: 1971-04-12
• Location: Arena, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
• Referee: Tommy Rawson

Opshinisky smashed and battered Covino until he could not come out for the 10th round, thus spoiling Covino's perfect record after 18 straight wins. Covino stood in there and gave and received. But Opshinisky kept shoving Covino into the ropes and battering him until Covino's face looked like a pizza, and his stomach was in agony. He couldn't come out for round 10.
