	"Young Eddie Machen cut Nino Valdez, #3 in the world heavyweight ranks, down to size in taking an upset unanimous decision before a wildly partisan crowd of about 6,000 at the Cow Palace. The 23 year old from Redding, Calif., inflicted only slight damage on the big Cuban but piled up enough points to win on all three official cards." -Associated Press		"Young Eddie Machen cut Nino Valdez, #3 in the world heavyweight ranks, down to size in taking an upset unanimous decision before a wildly partisan crowd of about 6,000 at the Cow Palace.

			"Valdez, weighing 212 to 193 for Eddie, almost pulled the fight out of the bag when he staggered Machen with a left hook in the final round. Eddie appeared on the verge of going down, but Nino was unable to follow up his advantage. Machen quickly regained his composure and was swinging away at the bell." -Oakland Tribune
