Joe Miceli 151 lbs beat Gene Tortorice 153 lbs by UD in round 10 of 10
- Date: 1960-02-16
- Location: Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, New York, USA
Joe Miceli, 150 ½, won a unanimous decision over Gene Tortorice, 153 ½, Niagra Falls at the Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo. Gene made it close with swinging shots to the head. The ex paratrooper wasn’t in the best of shape, being 6 ½ pounds heavier than for his last Auditorium bout with Peter Schmidt on April 13, 1959. Miceli’s weird uppercut and his ability to make Tortorice miss proved the difference. A left to the jaw in the third dropped Gene for a mandatory eight-count by Referee Ed Seres.
