"Pascual Perez still was in possession of the world flyweight title today after turning back the challenge of the Philippines' Leo Espinosa. The Argentine pounded out a 15 round decision last night before a sellout Luna Park crowd of more than 25,000 in the 2nd defense of his title. Perez cut Espinosa under the left eye in the 3rd round and had him down for a count of 4 in the ninth. Blood from the wound seemed to bother the Filipino as it flowed freely at intervals. The pace, fast through the first 10 rounds, slowed through the last 5 as Espinosa concentrated on trying to put across a knockout punch. But he was outclassed by the fast-moving Perez." -Associated Press
