"Rocky Graziano, 158 1/2, closed strong after taking an early boxing lesson to whip Tony Janiro, 153 1/2, of Youngstown, Ohio on a close but unanimous 10-round decision tonight at MSG. The bout was so close that two of the officials had to resort to the point system to find a winner under NYSAC rules. The crowd for the fall season opener appeared to like the contest between free swinging Rocky who missed more often than he landed and Tony, who ran out of gas in the final round." -Associated Press
