	"Lloyd Marshall, the nation's #1 Light heavyweight, boxed his way to an easy 10 round victory over Jake LaMotta tonight. LaMotta, sporting a streak of eight straight victories, was no match for the Sacramento, Calif. Negro and managed to take only one round, the tenth, with a furious finish that had the fans on their feet. LaMotta's left cheekbone began to bleed in the 4th round and Marshall made the cut a target for his left jabs. In the 5th round Marshall staggered LaMotta with several hard left hooks to the jaw and body. He piled up most of his points, however, with his left jab. The Bronx Italian also suffered a split nostril in the 8th. The fastest round of the fight was the tenth. LaMotta, who had remained in a semi-crouch most of the night, opened up and tried to tag Marshall with a KO punch, but failed. Marshall took every round but the 1st and 10th on the UP scorecard. The opening canto was even as both fighters sparred for advantage." -United Press		"Lloyd Marshall, 160 1/4, the nation's #1 Light heavyweight, boxed his way to an easy 10 round victory over Jake LaMotta tonight.

	*Although Marshall had been campaigning as a light heavyweight, he agreed to a contracted weight of no more than 161 for this fight. Moreover, Marshall's manager Johnny Rogers had to put up $5,000 to guarantee Marshall's weight.		*Although Marshall had been campaigning as a light heavyweight, he agreed to a contracted weight of no more than 161 for this fight.

	Despite the the enthusiasm the audience showed for LaMotta's last round rally (which the paper scored for Marshall regardless), it was an "eminently just decision". Marshall won seven rounds- "LaMotta was rocked on several occasions, Marshall never was bothered, save for fatigue in the very last seconds. LaMotta was cut and bloodied up some. Marshall came out of it without a mark. Not once was LaMotta the boss, as they say. But the stylish Marshall was ever in command. -- Cleveland Plain Dealer.
