"World featherweight champion Sho Saijo of Japan scored a knockdown in the 2nd round and then fought to a unanimous decision over Felipe Torres in a non-title 10 round bout Tuesday night. Torres, a youthful and tough Mexican featherweight, put up a good fight. He withstood the champion's attack and retaliated with jolting left jabs and straight rights to the head. But Saijo's experience and solid punching decided the outcome." -United Press International
