"Jorge Fernandez, a windmill puncher from Argentina, unanimously outpointed Ted Wright of Detroit Saturday night in a nationally televised 10-round bout at St. Nicholas Arena. Fernandez, ranked No. 4 in the welterweight division, was willing to take two punches to connect with one. He was at his best in the last four rounds when Wright tired. But he never could get Wright off his feet despite a steady barrage." -Associated Press
