"Miguel Berrios, a pint-sized featherweight with a big hook and a big heart, dares champion Sandy Saddler and French contender Cherif Hamia to take him on. The 5'2" Puerto Rican, who now lives in New York, issued his challenge after beating experienced Bobby Bell of Youngstown, Ohio, in an action-packed 10-rounder at St. Nicholas Arena Monday night. A solid right to the chin in the final round staggered the 27-year-old Bell, and gave the free-swinging Miguel his second straight split verdict over the Ohioan and his fourth consecutive victory." -Associated Press
