Las Vegas: Freddie Little vs Stanley Hayward, March 1969
The great Sandro Mazzinghi is champion no longer when the WBC and WBA strip him of his title when he failed to meet an approved challenger. They instead match up Freddie Little and former welterweight Stanley Hayward for the title.
An even start to the fight until Little drops Hayward with a great hook to the jaw at the end of the 3rd. Hayward is dropped again by a sweet uppercut in the 4th and sheers gets him through some severe punishment in the 5th. But in the 8th with brave Hayward suffering damage to his right eye the referee calls a halt to the fight for Little win his first World Title at last by TKO.
