"Sugar Ramos, the comebacking former featherweight king, found himself squarely in the middle of the lightweight title picture today after his impressive knockout of Mexican champion Raul Soriano. Ramos, looking strong at 134, had Soriano, also 134, dazed and helpless in a nuetral corner when referee Ray Solis called a halt at 1:20 of the 6th. The bout was fought before an estimated crowd of 11,000 at the old downtown Bull Ring. It was a hard, bruising battle about even when Ramos unleashed his devastating two-fisted attack." -United Press International
