"George Benton, veteran middleweight from Philadelphia, punched out a unanimous decision over Allen Thomas of Chicago in a nationally televised 10 rounder at MSG Saturday night. The 30 year old Benton spotted Thomas the first two rounds as he sized up his 24 year old foe. Then he went to work in earnest, slipping punches, blocking jabs and scoring with accurate counter-punches." -Associated Press
