"WBA flyweight champion Masao Ohba pounded out a close but unanimous 15 round decision over Venezuelan Betulio Gonzalez to retain the crown in his first defense. Referee Yusaku Yoshida scored it 72-70 and both judges Hiroshi Ugo and Takeo Tezaki scored it 71-70 in favor of the defending champion. But Gonzalez said after the fight he thought he had won the fight and the 7,000 boxing fans who packed the auditorium apparently thought the same because they booed the decision." -United Press International
