Rivera Fight Fails to Secure Imminent Title Rematch
In Cleveland Giardello retained the world middleweight title with a split decision over Rocky Rivera after 15 crowded rounds.

Referee La Branche and Judge Thomson sided with Giardello, while Judge Bill Favored Rivera. The crowd booed the verdict as Rivera’s camp questioned the result, and Giardello teased a Philadelphia homecoming with plans to rest and wait for a possible match later.

Ohio to raise Class A and AA cutoffs in state schools
Ohio Haghe School Athletic Association will raise the Class A to Class AA dividing line for four-year schools from 181 to 251 boys and set 201 as the three-year split with 201-plus in Class AA. The change could shift Wellington to Class A and may alter Elyria area enrollments. Avon Oberlin and Huron face reclassification risk as enrollments approach the new thresholds. With the shift, about 510 Class A teams and 40 Class AA schools are expected in the state.
