Brown Retains Title With Ninth Round TKO
Light welterweight champion Joe Brown from New Orleans and Houston stopped Paolo Risi in the ninth round of their 15 round title bout at Uline Arena. A deep cut over Risi’s left eye led referees to stop the fight during the eighth intermission. It was Brown’s seventh defense since winning the crown on August 24, 1956, and the 33-year-old vows to fight again if offered adequate money.
