"Stocky Miguel Berrios, young NY featherweight, beat veteran Bobby Bell of Youngstown, Ohio, tonight with rapid-fire bursts of hooks to body and head for an upset majority 10-round decision in their TV fight at St. Nicholas Arena. Bell, 128, to Berrios' 127 1/2, was favored at 9-5 because of his greater experience but Berrios won with his speedy hooks. Miguel, 23, staggered his 27-year old opponent with a left hook to the head in the 10th round. He also knocked him into the ropes with a right to the chin in the 2nd round.
