	"Light heavyweight champion Archie Moore Wednesday night punched out a unanimous decision over Nino Valdes, 209 1/2, heavyweight champion of Cuba. Moore, 180, frequently had to jump to land punches to the younger man's chin. But he forced the fight and delivered heavy body blows with his head pillowed against Valdes' chest. Neither man was downed, but there was plenty of action as Valdes, who fought in spurts, rallied near the close of each round. He was unable to reach Archie, who deflected most of his punches with elbows and shoulders and slipped inside his long arms to deliver a body attack. Moore cut Valdes' lip with a vicious right in the 6th round, but that was the only visible damage to either man. Valdes apparently didn't hear the bell at the end of the 10th and final round and kept on punching until the referee stepped in." -United Press		"Light heavyweight champion Archie Moore Wednesday night punched out a unanimous decision over Nino Valdes, 209 1/2, heavyweight champion of Cuba.
