	"Young 19 year old Willie Pastrano, a product of the French Quarter, scored a unanimous decision over the one time light heavyweight king Joey Maxim from Cleveland last night. After a slow opening round, Pastrano opened up, circling the ring-wise Maxim constantly and scoring with combinations to the head and body. Maxim relentlessly pursued Pastrano in an effort to get in close quarters, but Pastrano quickly moved back to long distance where he proved superior." -Associated Press		'''From The Associated Press:'''

	*Unofficial AP scorecard - 6-3-1 Pastrano		Young Willie Pastrano, the latest of New Orleans' contributions to boxing, awaited higher rank among light heavyweight contenders today after his convincing victory over former champion Joey Maxim.
	*Ring Magazine Editor Nat Fleischer, ~~a ringside spectator for this fight, stated afterwards that the unranked Pastrano would be in~~ the ~~Ring~~'~~s top ten in the next issue~~.
	*Purses - Maxim: $15,000, Pastrano: $7,500

	~~Post fight comments~~		The 19-year-old Pastrano, a product of the French Quarter which gave one-time bantamweight king [[Pete (Kid) Herman\|Pete Herman]], the Docusen brothers—[[Bernard Docusen\|Bernie]] and [[Maxie Docusen\|Maxie]]—and top-ranked lightweight [[Ralph Dupas]] to the ring, scored a unanimous decision over the one-time light heavy king from Cleveland last night before 6,500 fans.

	* "I took it easy, ~~saving myself so I could open up with speed~~ and ~~power~~ in the ~~final three rounds~~.~~" -Willie~~ Pastrano		Pastrano is unranked among challengers for [[Archie Moore]]'s title, but [[Nat Fleischer]], editor of the [[Ring Magazine]], was a spectator and said he is convinced the New Orleans stylist belongs in the division's top ten. Fleischer said Pastrano would be ranked in the first division in the next edition of the Ring.

	* "Now I know how those guys used to feel that fought me when I was young." ~~-Joey~~ Maxim		Pastrano weighed in at a surprisingly heavy 176 to offset Maxim's 182. Pastrano paced himself well through the early rounds and piled up a substantial margin, proving a tough target for the former titleholder.

			The three officials were in accord on the decision. Judge Lucicn Jaubert and Francis Kercheval both tabbed it 5-4-1 for Pastrano while Referee Eddie (Kid) Wolfe gave Pastrano six rounds, Maxim three and called one even. The AP card also had Pastrano the winner 6-3-1.

			After a slow opening round, Pastrano opened up, circling the ring-wise Maxim constantly and scoring with combinations to the head and body. Maxim relentlessly pursued Pastiano in an effort to get in close quarters, but Pastrano quickly moved back to long distance where he proved superior.

			==Notes==
