"Unranked Gene (Ace) Armstrong of Elizabeth, N.J., Saturday night gave middleweight contender Henry Hank a boxing lesson and won an upset unanimous 10 round decision in their nationally televised fight at MSG. Armstrong's unexpected victory ruined the NY debut of Detroit's Hank and rocketed Ace into the upper 10 ratings among 160 lb. contenders. Armstrong forced the fighting in most rounds and kept the bobbing and weaving Hank busy and angry at times with peppering left jabs and potent rights. There were no knockdowns and no cuts." -United Press International
