"Oscar Bonavena, Argentina, floored former heavyweight title challenger Tom McNeeley of Arlington, Mass., twice Friday in MSG and won a TKO at 2:56 of the 5th round for his sixth straight kayo since he turned professional.

McNeeley was up at the count of four, but Martin deemed him unable to continue because of his wobbly condition." -United Press International
