Fullmer Batters Basilio in Title Fight Showdown
Utah boxer Gene Fullmer battered Carmen Basilio to a 12th round stoppage in Salt Lake City to retain the world middleweight crown. Fullmer’s camp touted a $100,000 bid for a Fullmer Giambra bout, with talks of matchups against Paul Pender or Ray Robinson. Basilio, cut and swollen, argued the stoppage and claimed bias by the Utah Athletic Commission, while Fullmer maintained control from the start and improved to 52-3-1. Basilio finished 54-15-7, with both men bleeding from the action this midweek title clash.
