1970's ~ Top Heavyweight Upsets

You were indeed lucky, BB. No footage of Arrington exists that anyone has been able to access.

Did Mr. Paxtom fly the coop. Always enjoyed his posts.

Did you really enjoy his post?

I watched LIVE in January 1976 at the tender age of 12, on WABC Wide World of Sports, "Irish" Pat Duncan vs Ibar Arrington.

I remember seeing Duncan landing 4- and 5-punch combinations to Arrington's head, over and over, and Ibar"s long hair just jolting back and forth from the blows.

At age 12 I got the distinct feeling Duncan totally dominated, yet the judges voted for Arrington.
