1970's ~ Top Heavyweight Upsets

[Bill Paxtom]

Triple 'B',

Referee - Georges Gondre did not penalize Juergin Blin, but he did warn him several times
for rubbing his right-glove across Jose Manuel Urtain's eyes in Round 13.

Jose Manuel Urtain's Manager - Yamil Chade 'did' file a protest with officials after the bout,
as he complained about the scoring.

He stated the '3' Officials were pro-German and were against the Spanish Champion.
* Referee - Georges Gronde {France} ..... 73-68
* Judge - Kurt Rado {Austria} ................ 72-70
* Judge - Domenica Carabellese ............. 71-67

He felt that his fighter won, and retained the European Championship by 2-Points, stating that
Jose was the more eager and the stronger fighter for the first 10-Rounds.

Yamil Chade >

"The '3' Judges were pro-German and gave several undeserved Rounds to Juergen Blin
because of technique, and not effective aggression. Jose landed the harder punches
throughout the first 10-Rounds."

"Yes, Jose had many faults tonight, but he carried the fight to the Challenger for
2/3's of the bout. In my eyes, he won this bout by '2-Points' with room to spare."
