"Tony Janiro laughed at the 12-5 odds against him last night as he fought former middleweight champion Rocky Graziano to a 10 round draw in MSG. In the 1st Janiro almost floored Rocky with fast lightning lefts and rights to the head. The New Yorker weathered the storm and was holding his own at the end of the round. After that it was a slambang battle for four rounds as Tony countered the former champ's round swings with dazzling left-right combinations to the head. Janiro lost his steam in the 6th and Rocky handed him a severe beating through the next three frames. In the 10th Janiro surprised with a blazing spurt that befuddled the ring rusty New Yorker." -Associated Press (April 1)
