"21 year old Gil Turner, Philadelphia's welterweight sensation, still is unbeaten as a result of last night's victory over Mario Trigo, Mexican switch-hitter from Los Angeles. Turner wanted to add Trigo to the 22 other opponents he has stopped since turning pro. But Gil couldn't knock out the tough little Mexican. He had trouble solving Trigo's southpaw style. He hit Trigo plenty with his usual flashy display of machinegun punching. But he couldn't get set for a real damaging blow. Trigo's best rounds were the 1st, 5th and 7th, when he stopped several Turner flurries with a counter-attack. The rest of the fight was all Turner." -Associated Press
