"Kid Gavilan stood off the buzzsaw attacks of 21 year old Gil Turner Monday night to stage a blazing rally that left his youthful challenger helpless on the ropes, a TKO victim. For five rounds, Turner fought with a fury that brought the big crowd roaring to its feet. Gavilan gave ground willingly but fought back in spurts, matching punch-for-punch in stirring rallies. It was a close battle up to the sudden ending. But you could see it coming as young Gil, who had never went 15 rounds, suddenly found his own pace and Gavilan's sharp counter punches wearing him down. With his white mouthpiece hanging from his loose lips, Turner was saved from possible serious injury when referee Pete Tomasco intervened at 2:47 of the 11th." -Associated Press
Unofficial AP scorecard (through 10 completed rounds) - 5-4-1 Gavilan
Referee Pete Tomasco took the 5th round from Turner for low blows.

Fight stopped with Turner helpless on the ropes
