ATTELL SMOKES GRIFFO FOR 2ND DEFENSE
Abe Attell (11-3-1) knocked Young Griffo (10-3-1) down 3 times in route to a 6th round TKO. The fight was pretty close despite a 3rd round knockdown. Griffo was outboxing Attell winning 3 of the first 5 rounds. Then Attell flattened Griffo twice early in round 6 and had Griffo out on the ropes when it was stopped.
I had it 48-47 Griffo at the time of the stoppage. Tom Trunzo had it 48-46 Attell. The judges had it 48-46/46-48/47-47.
