Upset???? Ray Robinson won his first title in 1946 this is 1960. Ray was 39 and veteran of well over 100 fights. To say Ray was way past his best is an understatement. Not taking anything away from Pender but this can hardly be called on upset.
paul pender is my 12 cousin, twice removed another time, then another on my half blood uncles side who is twice removed to my other cousin....i feel so proud
I saw the second fight. Pender I felt lost the first 5 founds, though after, Pender sort of dominated. None the less, I had Pender losing, though by a very close decision. The judge who gave Robinson only one round should have been ashamed of himself.
Paul was a good fighter and a nice guy. I met him many times as a kid and even had some boxing lessons with him. He had very brittle hands that hampered him throughout his career.
It's nice to see him remembered fondly by some here.
Hey Dude; Robinson lost this fight...15 rounds on his feet at 39, after 160 fights( over 174 in his carreer). Don't try and put down perhaps the greatest boxer in history because some judges scored in favor of Pender...the announcer even said the ref thought Robinson had the fight.
Pender was a clever fighter, beat our Terry Downes I believe. Love to see the whole fight.I trained a man who also beat Terry Downes... a hard man to beat! Good stuff Mantis.
Pender fought Downes 3 times 2-1 to Pender all world title fights. Downes won the 2nd fight to take the title only to lose it back in the 3rd meeting between the two
Looking at this clip, I wonder how Pender won this fight? Sugar Ray was doing all the punching while Pender was clinching most of the time! I wish I could see the whole fight.
The clip is very misleading, Pender was a tough as they come and Robinson really tired as the fight went on. This was when his 25 year career was catching up with him. Pender won the rematch easily.
Kap, both fights were grip and nip fests which could have been called draws.
You probably would get bored by them but it would be nice if every major fight ever could be posted in full. Many apparently were not even filmed at all. At Y/T we only get a tiny fraction but it sure is better than nothing.

@andrewr62 It was an upset.
Robinson was a big favorite to beat Pender.

Ali got a lot of that clutch-and-grab style from SRR. He was doing most of the holding here and deserved to lose. Long live Paulie Pender.

If this fight had been fought anywhere but Pender's backyard, Robinson wins it by a wide, wide margin.

Pender was seen as a nothing by Sugar-less Ray but made the mistake of fighting in Paulie Pender's neighborhood.
Then Paul played tag with Terry Downes, who got a reatch after Pender knocked him out.

Pender was a good fighter. Still the great Sugar Ray was at least 10 years past his best here. In his prime
I believe Sugar Ray would have won easily.
