Sid Terris of New York scored de- cisively over Lew Paluso of Salt Lake City. ~ After both had stepped so cautiously for nine rounds that the spectators booed, Terris opened up a slashing attack in the closing three minutes which almost battered Paluso through the ropes Bud Taylor of Terre Haute swept through the defense of the former bantam champion, Abe Goldstein, with powerful body swings and swings to head. Twice in the early rounds Taylor staggered Goldstein. Both fights went the limit and were won by decisions.
