Emile Griffith, Ralph Dupas Top Week's Fight Card
NEW YORK - (UPI) - This week's boxing schedule, which lists two world champions for action, is topped by Emile Griffith's first defense of the welterweight crown since he recaptured it on a tragic knockout over the late Benny Kid Paret, March 24.
More experienced Dupas goes after his 9th win in 116 starts and his 17th kayo. He is comparatively light puncher. Ralph was stopped twice - in a 1958 lightweight title fight with the then champion Joe Brown and in 1950 by Kid Gavilan.
Heavyweight contender Eddie Machen of Portland, Ore., and Cleveland Williams of Houston, Tex., are slated for a 10-rounder at Houston Tuesday night. They were twice scheduled to fight at New York, but Machen withdrew both times because of ailments.
In Saturday's nationally televised 10-rounder at Madison Square Garden, Carlos Hernandez, lightweight slugger from Venezuela - engages ex-challenger southpaw Kenny Lane of Muskegon, Mich., in a return contest. Lane held Carlos to a draw on Feb. 20, 1961. In Hernandez' latest bout, he knocked out ex-challenger Paolo Rosi in the first round at the Garden, June 16.
