Dave 'Boy' Green 148 lbs beat Lawrence Hafey 146 lbs by TKO in round 5 of 10

  • Date: 1979-05-01
  • Location: Empire Pool, Wembley, London, United Kingdom
  • Referee: Mike Jacobs

"European welter champ Dave Green, 148 1/4, gave a competent display in defeating Canadian Lawrence Hafey, 146, the referee intervening in the 5th to save the Canadian from unnecessary punishment. Hafey was game enough, and threw a lot of punches, but he lacked the power and stamina that Dave produced. Green took it cooly, made every punch tell, and gradually wore down his plucky opponent. Dave hooked and jabbed, used a right uppercut to good effect, and was hitting his man at will when the referee intervened." -Ring Magazine, Sept. 1979 issue
