"Lloyd Marshall, Cleveland, Ohio middleweight, won a split decision last night over Joe Carter of Rome, NY, in a 12 round bout and the outcome left the fans booing long after the fighters had gone to their dressing rooms. Carter, pre-fight underdog, survived a knockdown for a nine-count in the 2nd round to come back and present a masterly exhibition of boxing, highlighted by his use of a sharp-shooting left to keep Marshall at bay during the 3rd. The New Yorker was credited with a draw by some of the ringside scorers." -Associated Press
