"Ruben Navarro, Los Angeles, scored a narrow split decision 10 round win over Juan Collado, Dominican Republic, at the Olympic Auditorium Thursday night. Navarro, 3rd rated junior lightweight in the world, was knocked down in the 1st round but bounced back to put his opponent on the canvas in the 4th. Those were the only times either fighter was seriously hurt. There were no cuts. Navarro's body attack was the deciding factor. Collado, a 2-1 underdog, nearly pulled the fight out in the 10th round as he let loose with a flurry of punches that had Navarro reeling as the final bell sounded." -Long Beach Press-Telegram
