VERSUS
"LEGENDS OF THE RING" TO SHOWCASE ALEX ARGUELLO-BOOM BOOM MANCINI 1981
FIGHT
Stamford, CT (March 8, 2007) - VERSUS will allow fight fans to relive a
classic performance by the legendary Alex Arguello when it televises his
1981 title defense against Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini on its Legends of the
Ring series in conjunction with Top Rank Boxing this Thursday, March 8
from 9-11 p.m. ET.
Arguello, a world champion in three different weight classes, was making
his first title defense of his WBC lightweight title as he prepared to
meet the undefeated Mancini in Atlantic City. The young challenger gave
a good account of himself for the first 10 rounds before the Eddie Futch
trained Arguello took him to school. Mancini began tiring in the 11th
round and was stopped by Arguello in the 14th round.
Legends of the Ring is hosted by Michael Buffer.
