"Tony Canzoneri's decisive victory over Lou Ambers last night over 15 rounds in MSG returns him to the status of lightweight champion of the world. Canzoneri floored the rugged Ambers twice in the 3rd round and again blew the 'Herkimer Hurricane' down in the 15th with a long left to the chin as Lou was hustling to get out of the way. From start to finish, despite Ambers' most courageous and aggressive efforts to turn the tide, Canzoneri had the situation under almost complete control. Tony outsmarted, outboxed and outpunched Lou so convincingly through the first ten rounds that the unanimous decision of referee Arthur Donovan and the two judges was a formality at the finish." -Associated Press
