"Outboxed in the early rounds, Pete Ranzany, 147, of Sacramento, rallied to retain his NABF welterweight title Tuesday with a TKO at 1:54 of the 11th round over Randy Shields, 145, of North Hollywood. The fight was halted because of a deep cut over Shields' left eye. There were no knockdowns, although Shields slipped to the floor in the 4th and 5th rounds. He fell again in the 9th, clutching his ankle thereafter. He said later he pulled a tendon running in the rain last week. Ranzany was the aggressor throughout, but Shields scored with counter-punches in the early rounds of the scheduled 12-rounder. From the 6th round Ranzany had the edge." -Associated Press
