  • Date: 1967-11-06
  • Location: Nuevo Circo, Caracas, Venezuela
  • "The unheralded Filipino lightweight Curly Aguirre, 136 1/4, scored a spectacular one-round KO over Venezuela's Carlos (Morocho) Hernandez, 136 3/4, before a sellout house in the Nuevo Circo Stadium. At the opening gong Aguirre surprised Hernandez with a two-fisted volley that drove the Venezuelan to the ropes. A short right to the jaw proved decisive. It dropped Carlos. Dazed and glassy-eyed, he made a vain attempt to get up, only to fall over on his face for ten. Hernandez did not land a single blow." -Ring Magazine, February 1968 issue

    • Also on this card, former world welterweight champion Luis Rodriguez met Percy Manning in a rematch of their 1966 bout.
