	The Associated Press described the fight as a "dull 10-rounder, fought to the tune of 'Jingle Bells' and 'Let me call you sweetheart' and a steady chorus of boos from the 8,380 fans who paid $63,392 to see the Cleveland News' annual Christmas fund show." This was Baker's 13th straight victory.

This was Baker's 13th straight victory.

			"The much-heralded meeting of Bob Baker and Nino Valdes last night at the Cleveland Arena served only to bolster the position of Archie Moore as No. 1 contender. Baker plodded to a unanimous decision over Valdes in a dreary match that probably eliminated both from consideration. Valdes seemed unable to untrack himself against Baker, who failed to take advantage of the situation by stepping back every time he landed a punch or two. The best punch of the fight was a right by Baker in the 4th that drove Valdes to the ropes. It was the closest thing to a knockdown in a knockdown-free bout." -Associated Press

	~~==BAKER'S FIGHT VS MARCIANO WAS REPLACED BY HURRICANE==~~

	On historic Friday night of February 3 1956[http://encyclopediasupreme.org/norrisweillmarciano2356], Well over 4000 people were in attendance. Rocky Marciano(49-0) was to fight Bob Baker(45-5) @ 11PM! As an attraction Only heavyweights were allowed to fight on this night just like on September 21 1955. Jackson won by the slimmest of scores. If Baker had won the final round, the bout would have been a draw. This fight ended Baker's 13 impressive consecutive winning streak. Jackson scored an upset by taking an unpopular split decision from Baker, who was the only logical contender left for Rocky Marciano's heavyweight title, from April 1955 to February 1956. At the time, Archie Moore was returned to the rankings as light heavyweight champ by the NBA, however The Ring magazine still considered him the light-heavyweight champ.

	~~The bout was first live fight broadcast of 1956 on national coast-to-coast TV and radio!~~
