"Cagey southpaw Kenny Lane, the 30 year old veteran from Muskegon, Mich., handed slugger Luis Molina a thorough boxing lesson and his first professional defeat last night in their nationally televised 10 round bout. Lane puzzled the San Jose favourite with his southpaw punching through most of the fight and withstood a rally to win an unanimous verdict at San Jose Civic Auditorium. The loss was the first in 20 fights for Molina, who suffered a cut under his left eye in the 5th round and opened a slash over Lane's left eye in the 8th. Kenny stung Molina with right-left combinations and successfully boxed his way out of range when the hard puncher threw his best shots. He had Molina bleeding from the nose from the 3rd round on and the local battler carried away bruises under both eyes. There were no knockdowns." -Hayward Daily Review
