Bad Bennie Briscoe's chin.

I've always been facinated by one of Philly's finest 'BAD' Bennie Briscoe the ultra tough menace of the Middlewieghts throughout the 1970's.

BAD Bennie had an iron jaw, as far as I can trace was only on the canvas 3 times in his career, twice in the first round against Mexican Rafael Gutirrez, whom he stopped in the next round (some say with the help of a low blow). The other time was when he was stopped by top quality Rodrigo Valdes.

Does anyone know if there were any other knockdowns suffered by BAD Bennie?

I heard he was stunned but didn't go down against Vito Antuofermo.

I was at the Antuofermo fight -- Bennie was definitely badly wobbled against Antuofermo -- but, I beleived that Vito needed to knock him down to win.

I thought Bennie had a big enough lead to eke out the decision notwithstading the poor last 2 rounds.
