Bennie Briscoe beat Rick Noggle by TKO in round 6 of 10
- Date: 1981-12-23
- Location: Memorial Civic Center, Canton, Ohio, USA
- Referee: Joe Lorenzo
In a televised bout, former # 1 middleweight contender Bennie Briscoe of Philadelphia, 38, a loser of four of his last five decisions, scored a sixth round knockout over veteran Rock Noggle of Dayton, Ohio, in a bout held in Canton, Ohio. Briscoe took his time in center ring with Noggle, who despite a winning record, had only one win over an opponent with a winning record, and looked the part of a 'B' fighter who could get taken out at any time. Midway through the sixth, Bad Benny finally ended 'the show' by landing an unanswered combination that sent a badly beaten and weary Noggle down and out. Of the hard-punching Briscoe's 53 career knockouts, this was his last one for 'the count'.
