"Vito Antuofermo, 22, outmauled Emile Griffith, 35, wore down the former five-time world champion and scored a unanimous decision Friday night at MSG. But age seems to be taking its toll on Griffith. He simply could not keep his younger opponent away or outpunch him." -Associated Press

"Rodolfo Gonzalez, 135, Long Beach, scored a 7th round knockout over Fermin Soto, 134, Mexico, at the Olympic Auditorium Thursday night after Soto's corner decided not to allow their fighter to come out for the 8th round. Gonzalez had his opponent on the canvas in the 3rd round with a right cross, but Soto was up after the mandatory 8 count." -Long Beach Independent

*Soto was severely cut over his right eyebrow in the 7th round but the ring physician decided to allow the bout to continue. It was then that Soto's corner decided to call it quits between rounds.

'''WBC lightweight title'''

'''Rodolfo Gonzalez pounds Chango Carmona to win title''':<br>
"Rodolfo Gonzalez, a 3-1 underdog from Long Beach, Calif. hammered Chango Carmona of Mexico relentlessly last night and captured the WBC lightweight championship when his beaten foe was unable to answer the bell for the 13th round. Gonzalez took the offensive immediately with both left and right uppercuts early in the fight and a left to the head shook Carmona early in the 2nd round. Gonzalez consistently beat Carmona to the punch and slammed home left and right combinations repeatedly throughout the battle. There were no knockdowns, but the 28 year old Carmona bled from the mouth from the 2nd round on, and his face was battered and puffy midway in the fight and there were cuts near his eyes by the 12th. The fight proved so one-sided for the new champ that the cards of judges George Latka and Larry Rozadilla read 12-0 and 10-0 respectively. Referee John Thomas scored it 10-1, the same as the AP." - Associated Press

*Chango Carmona's official challenger and #1 contender, Pedro Carrasco of Spain, turned down the Olympic Boxing Club's $15,000 guarantee and the offer then went to Rodolfo Gonzalez who earned $10,000 for the title challenge while Carmona earned $30,000.

George Chuvalo vs. Mike DeJohn

2013-04-20T11:20:51Z

Flatnose:

<fight>73870</fight>
In the 2nd round, Chuvalo knocked DeJohn back into the ropes and then struck him him several times when he was helpless leaning backwards on the loose ropes, before he went down. George was penalized (apparently because once DeJohn was leaning back like that he was technically down) and the round was awarded to DeJohn 5-3. DeJohn was given a substantial period of time to recover. Chuvalo dropped DeJohn again in the 6th round. A second knockdown in the round could have been from a combination of blows and a push. The referee at first acted like it was a push and no knockdown, because he literally pulled DeJohn up to his feet without counting. However, once DeJohn was on his feet, the referee gave him a count.

*Unofficial AP scorecard - 47-42 Chuvalo

"Tony Alongi can thank referee Cy Gottfied for his disputed decision over Canandian George Chuvalo in their bristling 10 round fight Friday night. Gottfried, who earlier had warned Chuvalo, took away the last round from the Toronto slugger and gave the decision to Alongi 95-93. Judge Jim Ruby also saw it for Alongi, by the same score, while Judge Bunny Lovett saw Chuvalo the winner 99-93. So did at least half the 2,240 ringside spectators, who burst into a storm of boos when the decision went to Alongi. Alongi, 6'5", weighed in at 204 and he needed every ounce to withstand the bull-like power of Chuvalo, and the slamming rights and lefts to the body and head. Chuvalo, 209 and standing just over six feet, never took a backward step and in the 3rd he floored Alongi with a vicious left and a right to the head. Chuvalo failed to follow up his advantage." -Associated Press

*On Saturday, November 9th, the Miami Beach Boxing Commission reversed the decision declaring the fight a draw.
*Unofficial AP scorecard - 96-94 Chuvalo

Post fight comment

"Dick Tiger, the Nigerian middleweight, won a shot against Pat McAteer for the latter's Empire title by stopping Jimmy Lynas, Coventry, in the 7th. Lynas forgot all his boxing by trying to outslug the hard-hitting Nigerian, who revels in a fight, especially when the opposition is willing to meet him halfway. A left hook to the head in the 5th opened a deep cut over Lynas's right eye, and in the 6th the same punch put him on the canvas for 'eight'. The end was in sight during the 7th session when the game Irish lad was dealt some punishment until the bell ended the round. During the rest he was advised to call it a day." -Ring Magazine, May 1958 issue

DeMarco finished strong in the late rounds to upset the flashy 18 year old high school boy. Outsped in the fight's early rounds, DeMarco carried the fight to Dupas in the last three to earn the close decision. Dupas was clearly superior at long distance fighting and opened up cuts over DeMarco's nose and left eye in the 1st round. Obviously bothered by the cuts, DeMarco cut down Dupas's lead by rushing him to the ropes in the final three rounds in trying for a knockout." -Associated Press

The effort was Dupas' best. He stood up and fought instead of his usual hit and run tactics. A light cut on the bridge of his nose in the 5th was Dupas' worst injury.
