WW: Johnny Bratton 14-0 (7) KO 8 Dane Wrightson 10-9 (4)
Bratton fought a fantastic fight, knocked Wrightson down in the 5th, twice in the 6th and then twice in the 8th before the 3rd knockdown of the round made it the full count. Bratton moves to #7 in the Welterweight divsion.
HW: Bob Dunlap 11-0 (4) UD 8 Jimmy Carollo 9-6-4 (4)
Dunlap was not too impressive, but at the same time, his win was never in any trouble. He scored a knockdown in the 2nd and just cruised in a dull fight to a wide decision. Dunlap moves to #5 in the heavyweight rankings.
WW: Tommy Bell 22-0 (14) KO 2 Eric Page 7-8-5 (2)
Another great showing from Bell who looks like one of the guys to look out for in the welterweight division as he overtakes Ray Robinson and moves to #3.
MW: Randy Turpin 21-0 (16) TKO 3 Bill Schultz 6-4-1 (1)
The brit remains on top of the middleweight division by handing out a beating to Schultz through three rounds, before the fight was rightfully ended.
