These guys were great. You don't see movement like that today. It's a shame Archer couldn't pull out the decision in his first title fight. He'd be champ today.
Quite a treasure trove of these early-60s Don Dunphy-announced ABC Saturday Night Fights now being sat on by ESPN. Zora Folley-Doug Jones II, Harold Johnson-Eddie Machen, Mike DeJohn-Robert Cleroux, Dick Tiger-Henry Hank, George Benton-Johnny Smith, Billy Daniels-Tony Alongi, Gaspar Ortega-Billy Bello, Joey Giambra-Farid Salim, Emile Griffith-Denny Moyer, Rubin Carter-Gomeo Brennan, Joe DeNucci-Joey Giambra, Giambra-Yama Bahama. The fighters were matched to go the distance; usually, they did.
Archer won that fight with his jab alone ! Joey Archer was a masterful boxer ! His foot movement and left jab alone was a joy to watch.

It angers me that Mims was outright robbed in this fight due to the color of his skin. As another poster said, this wasn't the only time.
