EMILE GRIFFITH
Early black and white publicity photograph of Emile Griffith posing
in a fighting stance.
Photograph signed: "Emile/Griffith". B/w, 8x10. Emile
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. He 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, he 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 2 draws and 1 no-contest. Pinhead sized spot in
left background. Fine condition.
