Wrestling overseas today is Jack Dale, of Dale Martin fame, Jack Dale beat Henri Cogan to claim the European Middleweight Title, in Paris, on this day in 1950.
On our TV screens, on this day, in 1964: -
Jan Kovacs (2) v Jim Hussey (1)
Keith Williamson (1) v Jim Mellor (1)
Al Brown v Ken Cadman
Billy Howes (1) v Josef Zaranoff (1)
I’m sure I saw the Kovacs v Hussey bout (above). My memory is of Kovacs winning by two submissions to nil. Hussey attempted a drop-kick, Kovacs caught him by the legs and turned him over for an immediate boston crab submission. Right away on the opening of the following round, Kovacs reached down and grabbed the now injured Hussey by the legs and repeated the submission move.
