"Welterweight champion Jose Napoles made the 12th defense of his title a quick one. He dominated 7th ranked Horacio Saldano of Argentina for two rounds before stopping him in the 3rd. A hard combination had sent Saldano's mouthpiece flying into the crowd moments before a right cross dropped him on his seat for the full count." -International Boxing, April 1975 issue
