"Joe Brown, lightweight champion of the world, plans to see if he can add a few more non-title victories to his streak of nine straight wins before defending his crown again. Brown took his ninth with a split decision over Armand Savoie, an obscure and unranked Canadian. There were no knockdowns, although both fighters were slightly cut. Brown moved in and slugged more often and effectively than Savoie and therefore won the fight." -United Press
