New York's Sandy Saddler and Percy Bassett both failed on the scales and in the ring, Saddler losing a split decision to Hoacine Khalfi at St Nicholas Arena while Bassett dropped a unanimous verdict to Orlando Zulueta at Brooklyn's Eastern Parkway.

Zulueta outboxed Bassett as the Cuban weighed 135 to Bassett's 130, with all three judges and the referee favoring Zulueta.
