"The first TV fight of 1959 apparently will go into the records as a split decision for young Denny Moyer over welterweight contender Gaspar Ortega, since there was no official protest today. Most of the sportswriters at ringside in MSG last night were flabbergasted by the verdict that gave unbeaten Moyer of Portland, Ore., his 19th straight professional victory in his eastern debut. Moyer boxed brilliantly and displayed an excellent left jab and a fast right uppercut, although no power in his punches. However, the swarthy Ortega forced the action in every round and landed the harder punches. It appeared in the 5th, 7th and 9th sessions that Denny might be stopped." -United Press International

*The controversial decision followed a late betting switch that sent Moyer into the ring favored at 6-5, whereas earlier he had been the underdog ranging out as far as 13-5.

Unofficial scorecards

*UPI - 7-2-1 Ortega
*AP - 6-4 Ortega
*A ringside poll of 18 sportwriters showed 16 scoring the bout for Ortega.

Post fight comments

* "There'll be no investigation that I know of. Everything seemed on the level, and we've received no protest." -Pat Callahan, Deputy Commissioner of the NYSAC

* "We've been robbed now 4 fights in a row. The cheering for the young kid seemed to sway the officials." -Nick Corby, Ortega's manager
