Ryff Paves Way for Regular Star Ring Stay
Frankie Ryff dominated New York rival Danny Jo Ferez in a bloody 10 round bout at Madison Square Garden. The 22 year old Bronx boxer improved to 60 wins in 63 amateur bouts and 17-0 as a pro, with nine of ten rounds scored for Ryff by judges. Ferez, bleeding from a first round cut, fought hard but could not halt the stampede of Ryff lefts. Dr. Nardiello deemed the cut superficial.
