Quarter-Finals:

Arthur King 3-1-1 (3) vs Tony Pep 1-1-0 (1) - Another workman like effort from King as he dominated early then with the lead was happy to work from outside as Pep tried to rally. Going the distance, the scores were 146-141, 146-140 & 145-141 for King.

Armand Savoie 6-1-1 (4) vs Danny Webb 2-1-0 (1) - This one was uneventful most of the first 10 rounds, with Webb doing enough to edge the most rounds with his biggest round the 10th when he scored a flash knockdown, the only one of the bout. Savoie tried for the KO from the 11th on, and the pace quickened for both fighters as he was not able to get the big shot. It was close, I had Webb up by 2 points through 15. The judges had it 143-142, 143-142 and 143-143 for the winner by majority decision, securing the upset, Webb.

Al Ford 3-1-0 (0) vs Billy Irwin 2-1-0 (0) - Ford, the favorite started fast, taking 4 of the first 6 rounds only to have Irwin come back and dominate the middle rounds, culminating in a shocking 11th round knockdown. Ford stormed back to make it competitive, but Irwin survived the storm well to take the 143-142, 145-140 and 144-141 decision.

Dave Castilloux 4-1-0 (1) vs Richie Howard 2-1-0 (1) - This one was as action packed as it was brief, with Castilloux being cut on the inside of the right brow in the 1st round, then furiously trying to get to Howard before the cut became serious. Howard targeted the cut the entire way and reopened it in the 3rd, then again in the 5th for the TKO on cuts and a minor upset.
