"In the peace and quiet of MSG, Orlando Zulueta used his talented left hand to jab his way to a unanimous decision over defensive-minded Johnny Gonzalves tonight in a 10 round bout between the two speedy lightweights. All three officials had the Cuban on top despite the brilliant punch-blocking tactics of Gonzalves of Oakland, Calif., who simply failed to throw enough punches. Nobody got hurt, nobody got cut, nobody did much to get the small crowd excited. Although the two shifty boxers kept busy all night." -Associated Press
