"Jesus Pimental won a 5th round TKO of Cowboy Billy Smith in a successful boxing promotion engineered by Tony Padilla at Municipal Auditorium Tuesday night. It was a slowly paced fight until the 4th when Smith, cutting down the back-pedaling, had his best round. He counter-punched well and stung Pimental with several jabs but did no appreciable damage. The end came suddenly. Pimental cornered Smith along the ropes, hurt him with a left-right combination to the jaw and methodically sent his bombs winging toward their target. Smith evaded the corner, fought back with a flurry but was maneuvered into another corner where he took another barrage. When referee Leonard Zuniga saw he was in trouble and that a cut had opened over his left eye he stopped the bout at 2:43 of the round and raised Pimental's hand." -San Antonio Light

*Coming into this fight Smith was advertised as being the North American flyweight champion with a record of 26-2.

Post fight comments

* "Pimental weighed more than 120 pounds. I weighed three pounds light on the scales myself. This is the first state commission I've ever seen that uses a bathroom scale." -Larry Agin, a Smith cornerman

* "It's tough to fight a fellow who is moving away. So I let him hit me. If he didn't hit me he wouldn't get confidence enough to mix it up. When he started to come in I got him." -Jesus Pimental
