Who remembers Carlos Elliott ?

[Bill Paxtom]

Carlos Elliott

I was supposed to fight Franciso Lisboa in a 'rematch' {our 3rd bout} on
April 5, 1989 and in Tokyo, Japan.

I hadn't fought in 5 1/2 months {since December 1, 1988}.

It was supposed to be for the OPBF Light-Middleweight Championship.

But he pulled out, and they sent in 26 year-old Philippine - Alsea 'Archie' Garcia
as a replacement. I had heard about him, and he was supposed to be a good boxer
with fast-hands.

They said he had a record of 31-7-0 {13 KO's}.

'The Fight'

I hit him with a good left-hook to the body in the 1st-Round, and he took a 'knee' for
a '7-Count'.

He had nothing, so I just took it easy on him for the rest of Round 1 and Round 2.
Then in the 3rd-Round, I opened up and battered him into the Ropes. He went down
again to one-knee and took a '7-Count'.

He got up, but I didn't let him off the hook, and I came in with both guns swinging.
The Referee stopped it @ 1:44 of Round 3 for a TKO win.

I was up to 21-2-0 {19 KO's}.
