Willie Pep vs Gil Cadilli

---

"Gil Cadilli sqeaked out a close and disputed 10 round decision over former featherweight champ Willie Pep before a lusty crowd of 5,000 Air Force men at Parks Air Force base. Pep, bleeding from a cut under his right eyebrow said afterwards, 'I don't want to be a beefer, but I thought I had the decision. I really did'. Cadilli rated Pep as a 'cutie' but said he figured he had Pep's number from the 4th round on." -United Press
