"Jeff Chandler successfully defended his WBA bantamweight title for the 9th time when he stopped Oscar Muniz in the 7th round Saturday at the Sands Hotel and Casino. Chandler opened a cut above the challenger's left eye in the 2nd round and used his 4 1/2 inch reach advantage to work on the cut until referee Vincent Rainone put an end to the bout after examining the gash. Chandler went to work on Muniz's head in the 2nd round and opened the cut above the Californian's left eye. But Muniz retaliated with a flurry of punches late in the round and backed up the champ. In the 4th round, blood covered the left side of Muniz's face and Chandler opened a cut on the challenger's right cheek with solid left hands. Muniz fought gamely to the end." -Associated Press

  • "I was motivated because he had beaten me. I straightened him up with the left hook and then bang, he was in front of the right hand." -Jeff Chandler
  • "When he came back to the corner (after the 1st round) Muniz said he was having trouble closing his mouth after taking a lot of right hands." -Ed Sobel, Muniz's trainer, who feared Muniz's jaw was broken.
