• Date: 1963-08-17
• Location: Plaza de Toros, Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico
• Referee: Ramon Berumen 119-111
• Judge: Adolfo Villasenor 116-116
• Judge: Carlos Monges 116-116

"Manny Barrios of Juarez was burglarized of the bantamweight championship of Mexico, some 15,000 indignant and vociferous fight fans in the huge Plaza Monumental will attest. Barrios completely outboxed champion Jose Medel over the 12 round distance. Barrios, who lacks the big punch, hit Medel with every conceivable kind of punch, while easily slipping the champion's big shots. Despite the clear-cut nature of Barrios' superiority judges Alfonso Villasenor and Carlos Monges both scored the fight a draw. Referee Ramon Berumen imported from Mexico City for the occasion, must have been watching another fight on another planet. He gave 11 rounds to Medel and only the first to Barrios." -El Paso Herald Post
