He fought a really great fight,” said Api Rodriguez, trainer of Mexican Ortega, who claims to speak no! English. “Sure, he won and we! were beaten good.” JFrom Gavilan, who said he “felt just fine—I could go another 10 rounds right now,” came a chorus of challenges to Basilio to fight the Keed or “hang up the gloves.”Basilio is scheduled to fight middleweight champion Sugar Kay Robinson lale this month. As the champion, Gavilan decisioned Basilio in 1953 and claimed Wednesday night he “could do it again any time.”The decision over Ortega, before a capacity crowd at the Miami Beach Auditorium and a national television audience, was a triumphant end to a losing “jinx” which began after Gavilan lost his title in a much disputed fight with Johnny Saxton in 1954. Since then, the bolo-punching Cuban has won only six of 20 bouts.ticmincfcsoptClmmspfoarterait.lien:s2X2ttc]vUOwcc.ie
