Milan: Ralph Dupas vs Sandro Mazzinghi, September 1963

The American title holder arrives in Milan to defend his title against impressive Italian Sandro Mazzinghi at the Vigorelli Vellodrome. Dupas has to bring his superior defensive skills and counterpunching into play to negate the Italian's better power.

Dupas operating behind his jab takes the early rounds to quieten the hostile Italian crowd, by the middle rounds however Mazzinghi has warmed up and nearly stops Dupas with a torrid attack in the 5th, Mazzinghi dominates the rest of the way and despite a brief 8th round rally from Dupas, the champion is felled three times in the 9th the last time by a jolting uppercut, in no fit state to continue, the fight is stopped and Mazzinghi in front of a jubilant crowd is crowned World Champion.
