- "I heard some fine singing out there, but it was from the birds in the 5th round." -Sammy Mandell, on being hurt in the 5th.
"Sammy Mandell gave Sid Terris, the pride of the east side, the licking of his life in a 12 round bout in MSG. With the exception of the 5th round the fight was all Mandell's. Mandell would have won by a knockout if he had not made the mistake of getting careless. When the 5th round started, Mandell dashed out of his corner to finish the fight, only to run into a right-hander that almost ruined him. For three minutes he staggered around the ring, but he didn't go down. After the 5th round, Mandell cleared quickly and again took the fight away from Terris. The decision giving Mandell the victory was unanimous." -United Press
