"Pedro Montanez of Puerto Rico lived up to his brilliant reputation here Monday night when he blasted Wesley Ramey of Grand Rapids, Mich., out of the front ranks of the nation's lightweights in one round. Exploding a left hook that traveled hardly a foot, Pedro scored the knockout 2:40 after the opening gong sounded. Jack Dempsey, brought here to referee the bout, never earned an easier dollar. He tolled off 10 as Ramey tried vainly to reach his feet." -Associated Press
