    Well.......Mario D´Agata, italian, bantamweight world champion (1956)......

    Seemed like a good fighter.....

    Had a good record, good wins....... Stopped only once in 68 fights, against Becerra, just because D´Agata´s manager stopped the fight......

    Anyone ever see him fight ???????

    Any info ??????
    :bbb

    I read where he was a deaf-mute. Also when he lost his championship to Halimi he recieved burns to the back from the overhead ring lights malfunctioning and exploding. I have read the story on this fight and thought to myself under such bizarre circumstances that they should have ruled the bout a NC rather than letting it continue thus allowing D'Agata to retain his title.
