"Griffith scored in the middle rounds but Sandy was strong in the 8th and 9th round." New York Times
"Veteran Randy Sandy, 156, dealt young Emile Griffith, 150 1/2, his first professional defeat last night - a 10 round split decision at the Academy of Music. Griffith, like Sandy a New Yorker, had won all 13 of his bouts in a 17 month pro career. He started fast against Sandy, but wilted in the last five rounds. Sandy's weight was a big factor." -Associated Press
- Sandy was a substitute for the ailing Tony Dupas.
