			'''From the Associated Press:'''

			Eddie Machen, the No. 2 ranked heavyweight contender, was a little too big, too strong and too experienced for Doug Jones, the No. 1 light heavyweight contender. In chalking up his 40th victory against four defeats and a draw, Machen started fast. He connected with several good punches in the second round and staggered Jones with a fast combination. Machen seemed to slow up a bit in the early rounds and the crowd of 4,620, which paid a gross gate of $13,129, booed occasionally. They waded into each other enthusiastically in the seventh round, with Machen nailing Jones with two good right hand blows to the jaw just before the bell. The action was fast for the remaining three rounds and when the fight ended, both fighters were bleeding from cuts, Machen under his right eye and Jones over his left one.
