- Referee: Mark Conn
"Sunnyside Garden swung back into action with Jose Torres again topping the card. The unbeaten Puerto Rican made it 10 straight pro wins by stopping Eddie Wright, Philadelphia, at 2:10 of the 5th. Torres' savage slugging had Wright down once in the 4th and twice in the 5th when referee Mark Conn called a halt. Jose's hysterical followers accounted for another sellout at the Long Island City arena." -Ring Magazine, May 1959 issue
