	"Jose "Mantequilla" Napoles of Mexico retained his world welterweight crown Saturday with a TKO over Hedgemon Lewis in the 9th round of their scheduled 15 round bout in the Mexico City Sports Palace. Throughout most of the battle the wily veteran took the initiative against the American - much to the surprise of many ring forecasts. Lewis inflicted a cut over Napoles' left brow but, thanks to the deft cornerwork of trainer Angelo Dundee of Miami, it did not bleed. With the start of the 9th, Napoles clearly took command of the fight and began slamming punishing blows to the challenger from L.A. Lewis began to wobble and Napoles backed him into the ropes with smashing lefts and rights. As Lewis was obviously becoming almost defenseless, the referee stopped the fight awarding a TKO to the champion." -United Press International		== Bout Summary ==

Hedgemon got caught with some shots he should have avoided. But we all go through the same process and once you get hit sometimes you can't shake it." - [[Joe Frazier]], Lewis' stablemate.
