• Judge: Johnny Lotsey 3-7
• Judge: Elmer Costa 6-4

"Ray Lunny III won a split verdict over tough Miguel Mayon in the Circle Star Theatre - but it wasn't quite in the style to which his fans have been accustomed. Last night he was unable to take advantage of his opponent's mistakes in the early rounds and he tired perceptively after the 5th round. Only a 10th round rally by Lunny, who reached down and came up with everything he had left, averted either a loss or a draw." -The San Mateo Times

• Unofficial Times scorecard - 5-4 Lunny

Post fight comments

• "He's awkwardly clever and I just petered out. He gave me trouble and he shouldn't give a good fighter trouble. So I guess I have a long ways to go yet before I'm a good fighter." -Ray Lunny III

• "Down in Mexico he would have been disqualified for his rough tactics." -Miguel Mayon

• "It was just another case of Ray being inactive too long. You'll see a much better fighter if we can get him back in the ring within a month." -Ray Lunny Jr., young Ray's father and manager
