"Quintero's puzzling southpaw style won him an even break in his engagement with the titleholder last night. Promoter G. R. K. Carter said the inaugural of the winter fistic season in the Miami arena attracted 11,000 persons who paid $32,000 to witness the match. Mandell's contract called for $10,000, he added, while Quintero worked on a 12½ per cent basis with a small guarantee" (AP). Offered here is an original wire photo depicting action in this bout.
