	"In the rough battle, referee Jim Braddock took one round away from each battler because of low blows. There were no knockdowns but each was knocked back onto his heels several times during the exciting slugging match. Archie Moore was bleeding from the nose and mouth at the finish, and his left eye also was swollen. But he could see very well. Nino Valdes forced the fighting in nearly every round and tried to impale his bobbing-weaving opponent with long left jabs and whistling rights. In the 13th session, Nino's left eye was closed tightly shut and he fought on half-blinded and fatigued. Moore's superiority in the 14th and 15th rounds clinched the fight and gave Moore his 20th straight victory." -United Press		"In the rough battle, referee Jim Braddock took one round away from each battler because of low blows.

The following month, a specialist declared Moore's heart to be "extraordinarily good," and his fight with Valdes went on as scheduled.
	*This bout was ~~not permitted~~ to ~~take place~~ in California ~~due to Physician~~'s ~~claims that Archie~~ had a heart ailment. ~~However~~, ~~Las Vegas doctors gave him~~ a ~~clean bill~~ of ~~health~~.		*Promoter [[Jack Kearns]] announced that Moore and Valdes would fight for the "World Heavyweight Championship of Nevada." Referring to [[World Heavyweight Champion]] [[Rocky Marciano]], Kearns said, "That other guy refused to fight either Moore or Valdes, so they're declaring the title vacant and the winner will claim it."
