Norwegian middleweight Roy Askvold (74,8 kg ) outpointed the French veteran trial horse Marc Desforneaux (74,5 kg) over 8 rounds. The fight was a boring one with Askvold hitting a few times with his left jab, Desforneaux hitting less. They walked flatfooted around the ring. The Norwewgian's victory was never in doubt.
Marc Desforneaux was one of those fighters who deserves a kind of admiration: In a 54 fight career between 1960 and 1969 he won only 3, scored 6 draws and lost the rest. However he could show a record where he was a difficult stepping stone for a dozen fighters who became European champions/ top contenders : Benvenuti,Folledo, Leveque, Bogs, etc.
