"Welterweight contender Teddy Wright of Detroit used a combination attack of left hooks and rights to the head to win an upset split decision over middleweight contender Denny Moyer Saturday night in the same MSG ring where two weeks ago Wright outpointed older brother Phil Moyer. Wright started Denny's nose bleeding in the 1st round with solid left jabs, and the blood seemed to bother Denny during much of their 10 round televised bout. There were no knockdowns. Wright suffered a nick on his right brow in the 4th round and his nose began to bleed in the 6th." -United Press International
