	"Archie Moore rallied in the late rounds for a 10-round split decision over Willi Besmanoff of New York Friday night. Moore, 196 1/2, in chalking up his 11th straight victory, found the 8th ranked Besmanoff, 191, a tough opponent. But he dropped Willi as the bell sounded in the 3rd round. There was no count. Besmanoff took the play away from Moore in the first two rounds and was leading in the 3rd until the final seconds when Archie let loose with a powerful right. The blow sent Besmanoff to the ropes. Archie then caught his opponent with a combination and sent him to his knees as the bell sounded." -Associated Press		"Archie Moore rallied in the late rounds for a 10-round split decision over Willi Besmanoff of New York Friday night.
