BOXING ILLUSTRATED, December 1963

"Boxing Illustrated",  December 1963 review: By Brian Zelley

* the cover story of this issue of

"Boxing Illustrated" was  the

Liston vs Patterson fight which

took longer to read than the fight

lasted.  At the time Charles Liston

was a top level fighter.  Floyd

was a great person.

* Beyond the main event, there

were some good articles in this

issue of the magazine and would 

include various fights:

Fights covered In "Rings Around The World:

Eddie Perkins vs D. Loi, Eder Jofre vs Joe Medel,

Brian Curvis vs Ralph Dupas, Willie Pastrano vs

Rudolfo Diaz, and Swift vs Leahy. 

* For active boxers, one of the interesting stories

was called "Big Night For the Ripper" 

The lead into the story about Garland "Rip" Randall

was: "Young Garland"Ripper" Randall scores a major

win and becomes a serious threat  for welterweight

champion Emile Griffith"

Other stories of interest:

* They still love Sugar in England

* John Gutenko - Alias Kid Williams

*  Archie Moore's Training Headquarters

* A case Against a Junior Middleweight Division
