"Paul Pender of Brookline, Mass., retained his share of the world middleweight championship by stopping game Terry Downes, the American-trained Briton, in the 7th round of a 15 rounder at the Boston Arena. The 30 year old champion had floored the 24 year old challenger in the 1st round with a right to the jaw and had opened two nasty cuts on Terry's face in the 4th round. Downes, although he fought strongly, bled profusely from the 4th round on Referee Bill Connolly halted the lively scrap at :57 seconds of the 7th round. Downes was gashed over his left eye and on the bridge of his nose. Downes stunned Pender in the 5th round with a right and a left to the jaw and then drove him to the ropes with a flurry of punches. But Pender snapped out of it and proceeded to give Terry a boxing lesson." -Associated Press
