	"Post bout verbal clashes produced almost as much excitement last night as the nationally televised fight in which Joey Giardello took a unanimous - but unpopular - decision over Chico Vejar. After the nearly 5,000 fans at Freedom Hall shouted their disapproval of the decision, the action continued on into the dressing room where Steve Ellis, who handled Vejar, announced he had been tossed out of Giardello's dressing room. Ellis, in a verbal battle with Tony Ferrante, Giardello's manager, challenged the winner to a rematch - winner take all, which Ferrante accepted. Vejar, an unranked middleweight, played a hit and run game. Giardello, the heavy puncher of the pair and favorite had the fight carried to him many times, but waited for the opening for a bout-ending punch that never came." -Associated Press		"Post bout verbal clashes produced almost as much excitement last night as the nationally televised fight in which Joey Giardello took a unanimous - but unpopular - decision over Chico Vejar.
