"California Jackie Wilson, 144, of Los Angeles, won a unanimous one-sided decision last night over Fritzie Zivic, 147, former world welterweight champion from Pittsburgh in a 10 round bout before a capacity crowd of 10,400 at the Olympic Auditorium. Wilson started slowly but in the 3rd round opened up with hard rights to Zivic's head and was the aggressor from then on throughout the 8th. Zivic rallied futilely in the last two rounds but by that time Wilson had built up too much of a point advantage. There were no knockdowns." -Associated Press
