Firpo Dies of Heart Attack at 65 in Buenos Aires

Luis Angel Firpo, the Argentine heavyweight known as the Wild Bull of the Pampas, died at 65 in Buenos Aires after a long career highlighted by the famed 1923 bout with Jack Dempsey at the Polo Grounds. He believed he won the title in that brutal clash, which ended when Dempsey knocked him out in 1936. Firpo’s career included ranching and auto business ventures, and his death drew reflections from Dempsey on Firpo’s fearsome punch and courage.
