"Mexico's Ricardo (Pajarito) Moreno upset the world's second ranking featherweight, New York's Ike Chestnut, tonight when he was awarded a TKO at the end of the 6th round of a scheduled 10 round bout in Olympic Auditorium. Moreno thrilled a partisan crowd of some 10,000 fans at the Olympic when he ripped continuous left hooks and right crosses into Chestnut's body and head. Chestnut suffered a cut on the left cheekbone in the 3rd round and it grew worse as the fight progressed, streaming blood profusely. After a consultation with the ring physician, Dr. Robert Rocke, referee Tommy Hart signaled the contest had ended after the bell had rung ending the 6th round." -United Press
