"Giving the best performance of his teen-age life, Mando Ramos fought a near-perfect fight Thursday night to avenge a defeat handed him by Irish Frankie Crawford last October. The lithe Long Beach lightweight finished as he started to capture a unanimous decision. The plucky Crawford, at 127 lbs., spotted Ramos 5 1/2 lbs., but it was not so much the pull in weights as it was superior skills that brought Ramos his 20th victory in 22 bouts. Ramos was the boss from bell to bell. Besides jabbing Crawford almost at will, he scored repeatedly with a sucker right overhand lead that rocked Frankie, yet never quite decked him." -The L.A. Times
