"Lightweight champion Joe Brown still holds his title, but 6th-ranked Johnny Busso of New York put a blot on Brown's record with a scorching 10-round decision Wednesday night. Busso, a 12-5 underdog at fight tile, won the non-title affair by a comfortable margin with a fine mixture of left jabs and hooks coupled with right crosses that kept Brown backing away. Busso, who was promised a chance at the title if he won this fight, was definitely in line for it. Brown opened a deep gash high on Busso's cheekbone in the 4th round and stunned Busson in the 8th with a solid right to the jaw but the underdog fought back gamely and took the next round. In the 10th Brown rallied to get the edge but Busso was well ahead in the opinion of referee Cy Gottfried and both judges." -Associated Press
