	"Sugar Ray Robinson still is plodding down that long, long road with an unpopular split decision over Ralph Dupas added to his 23-year record....The crowd of 6,232 that paid $25,558, one of Miami Beach's best fight gates, booed the decision....Robinson, a six-time world champion in the welter and middleweight division, had a 12¼ pound edge on Dupas at 162 pounds to 149¾ in the 10-round match. The faded Sugar proved he still could move around but the punches no longer came in stunning rapid succession. It was one punch at a time and it often missed. Dupas applied constant pressure, made Ray miss and landed chopping punches. He even got away with audacious right hand leads. Only in the seventh when Robinson came out of his corner and drove home a surprise right lead to Dupas' jaw was there any danger of a knockdown. Dupas weathered the storm and came back punching. - Associated Press		"Sugar Ray Robinson still is plodding down that long, long road with an unpopular split decision over Ralph Dupas added to his 23-year record. ...
