"Lou Nova, California heavyweight, belted out a 10 round decision over Jack Marshall, Dallas, Tex., before a crowd of 3,500 fight fans at the Coliseum Arena tonight. Nova, whose victory marked his 9th straight win in a comeback campaign, was held fairly even by his rugged opponent in the early rounds, but found the range in the 5th when he opened up a bad cut over Marshall's eye. From then on the Californian outscored Marshall who never ceased slugging but had difficulty placing his shots." -Associated Press
