"Dick Turner of Philadelphia was handed his first defeat Friday night when he bowed to Jose Stable of Cuba in a nationally televised welterweight fight at the Blue Horizon Arena. In 22 previous bouts, the only flaw in Turner's record was a draw. Turner, before the bout, had been ranked 6th in the welterweight division. Turner staggered the Cuban with a right to the jaw, but it was the only damaging punch in the fight, which left both contenders unmarked." -Associated Press
