Erik Jorgensen beat Nic Maric by DQ in round 6 of 6
- Date: 1966-03-03
- Location: K.B. Hallen, Copenhagen, Denmark
- Referee: Bertil Knutsson
The young and once promising middleweight Erik Jorgensen of Denmark ( 8-6-1 ) won on a disqualification over Austrian Nick Maric. In the 6th round a visibly angry referee lead Maric to his corner after a 3rd warning for passivity. Maric hadn't exactly been passive, he had rushed forward often enough, only to end in clinches. Jorgensen was confused by this non-boxing strategy and couldn't find means to stop Maric.
This was to be the last of Nick Maric in proboxing. The Croatian had come to Italy in 1959 where he debuted the same year. He was outpointed later by European champs Nino Benvenuti, Sandro Mazzinghi and Yolande Leveque.
