Emile Proves He's Better
Fighter In Archer Series
NEW YORK— Af
ter disposing of Joey Archer
an a contender for his crown,
middleweight champion
Emile Griffith immediately
began beating the drums for
future bouts with Italian
Nino - Benvenuti and light
heavy champ Dick Tiger.
Griffin left little doubt
who was the better fighter
as he bullied his way to a
unanimous 15-round decision
over Archer in a fight that
lost much of its suspense
when the bell rang for round
one.
THE CHAMPION from
the Virgin Island now living
in New York stalked the
popular Bronx Irishrfian
around the ring for the en
tire fight. Although he was
unable to deck Archer, who
has never been knocked off
his feet.
The fight'* m«in excite
ment ended when the fight
en finally squared off
against each other, ending
any doubt that they would
ever meet each other, after
two postponements and a
close call when Archer

cinnati Royals during their
showed up at the weigh : in
a pound and one-quarter
overweight.
HOWEVER, Archer pared
off the extra weight to make
the limit of 180 on the nose
while Griffith scaled 152.
The only doubt thlt was left
then was whether Archer, a
6-5 underdog, could solve the
WiUdog tactic# o t Griffith,
who won an earlier fight be
tween them by -a majority
decision.
Many fans felt that Archer
deserved the decision the
first time he loat to Griffith,
and his fan club was liberal
ly represented in the crowd
of 14,838.
JOEY, claimed that the
decision would have gone to
him if he had met Griffith
anywhere outside of
York.
"I warn to meet him
again," said Joey, nursing a
cut under his right eye. "I
•till believe I beat him, and
I want to fight him outside
New York."

THE GARDEN hopes to
match Benvenuti, the Euro

against Griffith on March 22,
boxing director Harry Mark

"I'd like to fight him." said
Griffith. "I don't duck any
one, and he's a good cham
pion in Europe."
HOWEVER, Griffith who
reigned as welterweight
champion before moving up
to the middle throne last
year with a victory, over Ti--
ger, also is eager to add thei
light heavy title to his col-l
lection.
Tiger went on to win the

"I think so because there
