Tony Valenti 159 lbs beat Vernon LaMar 162 lbs by KO at 2:57 in round 3 of 10

• Date: 1963-12-09
• Location: Boston Garden, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Tony Valenti, grandson of Rip Valenti, the town’s elder boxing statesman came off the floor twice in the second round and then flattened Vernon LaMar, 161, with a sweet right to the jaw just as the third round ended. It goes into the books as a fourth-round victory, a good start for the kid making his Boston debut. [Boston Globe]
