"Arturo Godoy, 196, Chilean heavyweight champion, punched out a handy victory over Tony Galento, 222 1/4, of Newark in the 10-round feature event of the New York Hippodrome fight show tonight. Godoy, a prime favorite with Hippodrome fans, was given 9 out of the 10 rounds against Galento on the AP card and would have been credited with a clean sweep had he not been penalized for a low blow in the 3rd." -Associated Press
