	"Vicente Saldivar, Mexico City, retained his featherweight title Friday night with a 15th round knockout over Raul Rojas. The champion dominated Rojas of San Pedro, Calif., throughout their bout and had a decision clinched when referee Tommy Hart stopped it with just 10 seconds remaining. After three slow rounds, Saldivar opened up. Throwing his southpaw jab in Rojas' face, he kept the challenger off balance and then shot his lightning left. The fighters differed on whether the referee was right in stopping the bout, but Saldivar was unleashing a vicious attack at the end. Rojas, although staying on his feet, was offering only token resistance and was badly hurt." -Associated Press		"Vicente Saldivar, Mexico City, retained his featherweight title Friday night with a 15th round knockout over Raul Rojas.
