"Youthful Paul Armstead scored a smashing upset at Hollywood Legion Stadium when he sent heavily favored Kid Centella to the showers in the 8th round of a scheduled 10 spot. It was a big win for the youngster and quite a setback for the Nicaraguan. Centella suffered a gashed right eye in the 2nd round. It bled profusely and in round 8 the wound had become enlarged to such an extent that the club medic, Dr. Benson, advised a cessation of hostilities." -Ring Magazine, August 1957 issue
