"Rocky Castellani stood off the savage buzzsaw fighting of Gil Turner with toe-to-toe slugging tonight to win a unanimous 10 round decision in a wild bout in Cleveland Arena. For three rounds, the Clevelander speared Turner at will with sharp lefts to the head as the crowd booed for more action. Then Turner went into action, and there was scarcely a letup the rest of the way. The victory places Castellani in the top spot for a title bout against champion Bobo Olson." -Associated Press
