EMILE GRIFFITH
Early black and white publicity photograph of Emile Griffith standing
in a fighting stance.
Photograph signed: "Emile Griffith". B/w, 8x10 overall, image
7x9¼ (one surface). Emile Alphonse Griffith (1938-2013) was matched against
Benny "Kid" Paret for his first welterweight title at Miami Beach on April 1,
1961, and won with a knockout in the 13th round. When Griffith fought for the
world middleweight title on April 25, 1966, against Dick Tiger, and he won a
15-round decision, becoming the third fighter to hold both the welterweight
and middleweight championships. Griffith used foot and hand speed to throw a
lot of short, quick punches and combinations, but often seemed to lose his
concentration and focus, even during important fights. Ironically, Griffith was
often accused of lacking the "killer instinct." He won 85 professional
fights, 23 by knockout, and lost 25, 2 by knockout. He also fought two draws and
one no-contest. Fine condition.
