	Bennie Briscoe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Rodrigo Valdez - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Valdez had nineteen wins in a row when he met Philadelphia legend Bennie Briscoe for the NABF middleweight title, in Noumea, New Caledonia, on September 1, 1973, beating Briscoe by a twelve round decision to capture the regional championship and allowing Valdez to become a world ranked Middleweight contender.
		But Monzon did not feel like fighting the Colombian at that moment, so the WBC stripped Monzon of the world title (Monzon kept being world champion with the WBA) and made Valdez and Briscoe rematch, this time with the WBC world Middleweight title on the line.
		Monzon announced his retirement from boxing afterwards, and so Valdez and Briscoe were matched once again, on November 5 of 1977, for the vacant undisputed world Middleweight championship, in Campione d' italia, which belonged back then not to Italy, but actually to Switzerland.

	Mulcahey
		Any man who could knock out iron jawed Bennie Briscoe, and knock down Carlos Monzon (who had not tasted the canvas for 13 years) deserves consideration as one of the fiercest punchers to ever inhabit the middleweight division.
		The retirement of Monzon meant the title was again vacant, and a third meeting between Valdez and Bennie Briscoe was necessary.
		But Valdez knew Briscoe was still dangerous, and played it safe.

	The Boxing Wise Hall of Fame: Bob Montgomery
		There was still doubt about who the best middleweight in the world was as "Bad" Bennie Briscoe was thought by the American writer to be better than the reigning champ since he held Monzon to a draw in Argentina while both were still middleweight contenders.
		Briscoe attacked in every round but his bob and weave style was now being accurately countered with the hard jab of Monzon.
		Except for a ninth round flurry when he Brisco staggered Carlos, the Philadelphian was completely outclassed in dropping a 15 round decision by scores of 150-139, 149-137 and 149-143.
