"Harold Green moved a notch up the pugilistic ladder today by virtue of a 10 round decision over Rocky Graziano in an all-New York main event tussle at MSG last night. Green floored Graziano twice in the early rounds and was floored in the final stanza himself. He finished virtually out on his feet, but had piled up sufficient points to earn the decision." -INS
