HISTORY: On October 20, 1954 at Convention Hall in Philadelphia welterweight champion Kid Gavilan defended his title against tough Johnny Saxton. Saxton won a 15 round unanimous decision and the title. According to Nat Fleischer in The Ring, January 1955, pages 8-9, the referee showed favoritism, frequently warning Gavilan against holding, whereas Saxton was mainly to blame. It was an extremely dull fight, with scarcely any action for the first eight rounds.
