"Johnny Busso racked up his fifth straight and most important victory of his brief career last night when he won a split decision over veteran Orlando Zulueta in a televised 10 rounder at St. Nicholas Arena. Busso set the pace most of the way, landed more punches and even beat the Cuban whenever they duelled with lefts in the first half of the bout. The left jab and left hook are Zulueta specialties, but Orlando didn't do much with his left punches against Busso." -Associated Press
