"Eduardo Lausse, from Argentina, won his 30th straight bout tonight on a unanimous decision over Gene Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah, in a 10 round battle at MSG. Although the left-hooker from Buenos Aires was sliced around the right eye in the 5th round, and shaken by Fullmer's right hand in the 3rd, he raked the American down the stretch. Lausse dropped Fullmer in the 8th round with a solid left hook and the knockdown counter got as high as 'four' before referee Mark Conn ruled it was no knockdown. It appeared to be a clean knockdown to most of the crowd of about 4,000 who paid app. $11,000 to see the nationally televised match. For one stretch of about 30 seconds in the 7th round, the two men stood up and traded punches freely without backing up a step. Through the last three rounds, Lausse rained steady punishment on Fullmer, a game lad who was losing his third fight in 35 starts." -Associated Press
