"Sammy Goss displayed a wide range of fighting skills Saturday as he pounded Jose Fernandez' face lumpy and scored a unanimous 12 round decision in a bout sanctioned in NY as the junior lightweight championship of America. Although the fight was one-sided, it was action-packed as Fernandez kept punching throughout and made the first four or five rounds close. But Goss simply had too much defensive ability and too much firepower." -Associated Press
