• Date: 1975-09-14
• Location: National Arena, Kingston, Jamaica
• Referee: Vince Flynn

"Saoul Mamby gave one of the most scintillating performances seen in a local ring, while defeating former Commonwealth lightweight champion Percy Hayles on an 8th round TKO at the National Arena last night. A check of the official scorecards revealed that Mamby was clearly ahead and that Hayles could only have won at that stage if he knocked his man out. But the likelihood of that happening was remote. Mamby hit his man, moved before the counter punch could be released and then was in again like a flash with his combinations to body and head. Hayles looked mesmerised. Near the end of the 8th round Hayles had taken so much punishment that he was obviously ready to give up, so he held on for dear life. Referee Speedy Flynn tried to break him loose, but failed and realising the situation, he stopped the bout at that stage and ruled that Mamby was the winner at 2:43 of the round." -The Daily Gleaner
