Griffith Favored To Retain Welterweight Title At MSG
Emile Griffith, the most active boxing champion, is listed as a 12-5 favorite to defend his world welterweight title against Manny Gonzalez of Odessa, Texas, at Madison Square Garden next Friday night. Gonzalez, seeking an upset after a unanimous decision over Griffith in a non-title bout in Houston, argues Griffith fights best when title moves him. The bout follows Griffith’s 15-round win over Jose Stable at the Garden on March 30, with Griffith having held the crown multiple times in a storied career. The card precedes Sugar Ray Robinson’s planned ring retirement ceremony with multiple former middleweight champions in attendance.
