Griffith Odds Drop As He Meets Archer Wednesday
New York AP reports middleweight champion Emile Griffith’s odds fell from 7-5 to even money ahead of his title defense against Joey Archer at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night. Trainer Gil Grancy predicts Griffith will knockout Archer early, noting Griffith’s 13-round experience and Archer’s lack of a 15-round fight. Archer has never fought past 12 rounds and carries a 46-2 record, while Griffith has one prior middleweight title win and a prior first-round loss to Rubin Carter in 1983.
