Notes
"Former world lightweight champion Mando Ramos, Long Beach, Calif., racked up a bloody, brutal 10 round split decision over Ultiminio "Sugar" Ramos of Mexico City Thursday night. Sugar Ramos in the 3rd round did the anticipated. He opened a cut over the left eye of the injury-prone Mando. The blood, despite heroic efforts in the corner between rounds, literally gushed from then on. In the 9th Sugar's rapier chops opened the right eye and almost shut it. Mando's bloody nose added to the gore. But it was Mando, jabbing, leading with solid rights to the jaw, boxing at his best when the crowding Sugar didn't have him cornered, who landed the consistent damaging punches. Time and again it seemed the rugged Sugar would fall. But there was no knockdown. With Mando in bad shape, blinded by his own blood, Sugar came on to narrow the margin in the 7th, 8th and 9th rounds. It was Mando, however, who took charge and won the 10th round." -Associated Press
