	"Cuban Benny (Kid) Paret displayed so much class last night while losing an unpopular split decision to Mexican Gaspar Ortega that he earned a non-title shot at welterweight champion Don Jordan. It was an excellent see-saw fight in which Ortega was generally the aggressor with his wild, long-range hooking attack to body and head. They exchanged furiously in nearly every round; but there were no knockdowns, and the only blood came from Ortega's nose after the 3rd round." -United Press International		"Cuban Benny (Kid) Paret displayed so much class last night while losing an unpopular split decision to Mexican Gaspar Ortega that he earned a non-title shot at welterweight champion Don Jordan.
