-"Jimmy Ellis knocked Oscar 'Ringo' Bonavena down twice Saturday and went on to win a tight but unanimous decision over the pride of the Argentine in their 12-round semifinal bout in the WBA championship elimination tournament. Ellis floored Bonavena in the 3rd and 10th rounds in the gruelling fight. Ellis' only mark was a cut over his left eye, suffered early in the 8th round. Bonavena, 206½, almost overpowered the Louisville boy with his strength and had Ellis, 194¾, in trouble later in the fight, which was telecast nationally. Ellis started strong but seemed to slow down near the end. He was clinching and hanging on, but Bonavena was unable to capitalize on the advantage. But by the time the 9th had opened, the cut had stopped bleeding and Ellis seemed to have shaken off its effects." - Associated Press
