"The second outdoor show of the season saw Don Fullmer, another brother of Gene, the ex-middleweight king, make his pro bow. Don, at 162, stopped Joe Mortensen, 158, of Salt Lake, in 2:40 of the 3rd round. Young Don battered his foe until the towel was tossed in. Joe made a game fight going down only once but was outgunned by the 18 year old slugger." -Ring Magazine, October 1957 issue
