"Underdog Ramon Fuentes' bristling attack upset Kid Gavilan of Cuba, the former welterweight champ, last night in 10 rounds at the Olympic Auditorium. Fuentes, from Los Angeles, earned his margin in the 7th when he got over three jolting rights to the head of the ex-champ, followed by a wide, stinging left hook. They were the heaviest blows of the fight. Gavilan's periodic bursts of speed kept him in contention." -Associated Press
