"Scrappy Joey Archer, 158, of New York, punched out a unanimous decision Tuesday night over a game Tony Dupas, 157, of New Orleans in a return match to settle a disputed decision two months ago. Dupas came out in the 3rd round seemingly intent on a knockout of Archer. But Archer, suffering a ragged gash over the right eyebrow from a butt by Dupas in the 8th round, stood toe-to-toe with the younger member of the battling Dupas brothers, in a wild exchange of lefts that kept the crowd of 3,500 fans on their feet." -United Press International
