"Paddy Young finally has his revenge over Tuzo Portuguez of Costa Rica. By winning a unanimous 10 round decision last night at MSG, Young squared his record with the aggressive Costa Rican. Nobody was knocked off his feet in the slugfest. Tuzo was staggered twice and a right to the pit of the stomach had Young in trouble in the 3rd. Portuguez had a wide gash over his left eye and Paddy had a gash on the bridge of his nose. They were two well-battered boys at the finish." -Associated Press
- Referee Ruby Goldstein took the 3rd round from Portuguez for hitting low 3-4 times.
