"Middleweight champion Joey Giardello, fighting for charity, planned an easy fight for five rounds and then hoped to put his opponent, Gil Diaz, away for the night. Giardello came out of the 10-round non-title fight Friday night with the decision but injure an elbow in so doing. The exact nature of the elbow injury won't be determined until X-Rays are taken Saturday, but Giardello had his arm taped and put in cold packs before leaving the arena. Dr. Harry Haltzman, commission physician, said it could be a recurrence of a chipped fracture Giardello suffered in 1961. Joey was content to counter-punch against his foe from Brooklyn, and it earned him a score of 8-2 from the scoreboard of the lone official, referee Harold Valan. There were no knockdowns." -Associated Press
