World Lightweight Title
"Tony Canzoneri lost the world lightweight championship tonight to his one-time sparring partner, Lou Ambers of Herkimer, N.Y., in a 15 round match witnessed by a near-capacity crowd in MSG. Ambers, scaling 134 1/4, gained a decisive victory over the titleholder, who scaled 135. Reversing the outcome of their title fight a year ago, the light-hitting but aggressive Ambers carried the fight to Canzoneri from the outset, turned back two spirited rallies by the titleholder, and won by a wide margin on points in a match that produced no knockdowns and few fireworks. Ambers was given the unanimous verdict by referee Arthur Donovan and the two judges Charley Lynch and George Kelly. Unable to match the challenger's speed or agility, Tony waited for openings that seldom came." -Associated Press
