"A non-stop attack paid off Saturday for Paul Armstead, 132, Los Angeles, as he won a unanimous 10-round decision over Tommy Tibbs, 130 1/2, Boston, at Hollywood Legion Stadium. Armstead swarmed all over the stocky Tibbs, peppering him incessantly with lefts and smothering his efforts to launch an attack of his own. There were no knockdowns and neither fighter was in trouble during the fight." -Associated Press
- Armstead, who dropped a decision to Tibbs a few months prior, was a slight underdog going into this fight.
