Bravest Performances In Losing Efforts.

[Thread Stealer]

Benny Paret fighting Emile Griffith. Poor guy didn't only lose the bout, but his life.......{I think his name was Benny}

Yea Benny Kid Paret that was there 3rd meeting, he took about 30 punches in 6 seconds or something like that. I see the footage once and it was horrific, and whats even more scary is that Griffith isn't a big puncher.

I just watched a cool documentary last week they did on Griffith. That fight was the single worst case of negligent reffing I personally have seen. It was a travesty and that ref should have been brought up on charges of murder

The end result in Griffith-Paret was more tragic, but the referee was worse in Ike Williams-Beau Jack.

Ike Williams was one of the meanest fighters around, but even he hesitated when he had Jack cornered and signaled to the ref. He was like "what do you want me to do, kill the man?"
