"Frankie Crawford of Los Angeles regained his state featherweight title at San Jose Civic Auditorium here Friday night by outpointing Ray Echaverria of San Jose in a 12 round fight. Crawford won the first eight rounds, and Echaverria rallied to take the next three, but the defender came back strong to keep his margin. There were no knockdowns." -Associated Press
- The AP report incorrectly stated that the state title was technically vacant because Crawford hadn't defended his tile in over six months. But it had only been 4 months since he won the title from Jose Moreno in October. Clearly this was a title defense and not a bout for the vacant state title.
