  • "Gaspar Ortega, 144, of Mexicali, Mexico, decisioned Johnny Gonzalves, 141, of Oakland in the 10-round main event at the Auditorium Wednesday night. The verdict was unanimous. Ortega, a 10-6 favorite, won the battle with his pressing two-fisted attack. He kept the Oakland veteran off balance while backing him up. There were no knockdowns, but both fighters were staggered several times. Ortega suffered a bad cut over his left eye in the final round, which required a doctor's visit to his dressing room to stitch the gash." -Associated Press
