In command and clowning all the way, White was awarded a knockout at 1:58 of the 10th round of a scheduled 12-round bout when his shorter but swifter opponent, Amado Vasquez of San Diego, was ruled unable to continue. When Vasquez suffered a deep cut over his left eye, Dr. Jack Useem examined the laceration and ordered the bout to be stopped." -Oxnard Press-Courier
