"Jeff Chandler stopped former classmate Johnny Carter at 2:28 of the 6th round Saturday to successfully defend his WBA bantamweight championship for the fifth time. Chandler caught Carter on the ropes near his own corner in the nationally televised fight. As Carter spun out, Chandler led with a right and connected with a left hook that staggered the challenger into his own corner. After a standing eight-count, Chandler closed in on the nearly defenseless challenger, hitting him repeatedly with left jabs and right hooks before referee Frank Cappuccino stopped the fight." -Associated Press
