Carlos Monzón vs Bennie Briscoe I - Goles Magazine Report May 1967

I get that most people here maybe don´t speak spanish, so I will do a translation of the main parts. Since this fight has been long being discussed and, to my knoweldge there is no film out there.

Goles was a magazine in Argentina that was mainly about Football (soccer, Fútbol) but they made Boxing reports many times.

The report is here

-------------

* It says that Monzón rocked Briscoe in the second round with a right hand counter.

* Briscoe was good at cutting the ring off and Monzón was caught retreating a lot

* Monzón was gun shy

*Briscoe punished Monzón with body punches, so much that Monzón´s body got bruises that could be seen during the fight

* Monzón got tired and Briscoe won most of the rounds

* they don´t provide a scorecard but say that the draw was fair (considering that you had to win by 3 points at least to get the decision) keep in mind that the report says that Briscoe was better anyway;

 

Yes, Brusa says exactly that about this first fight, "it was a learning experience for Carlos".
