MosleyBoxing's video: Archie MOORE vs Yvon DURELLE FULL FIGHT BEST COMEBACKS

Archie Moore The Old Mongoose vs "The Fighting Fisherman” Yvon Durelle, full fight highlights! Date: Dec. 10, 1958, Location: Forum in Montreal, Canada. Moore was 173-21-9 going in, Durelle was 78-19-2, and they were fighting for the World Light Heavyweight Title. The Setup: (As the end of 1958 approached, it had been a typical 12-month span for the prolific Moore, eight wins on the road plus a draw with tough heavyweight Howard King. A title defense against Yvon Durelle in Montreal seemed like a good way to cap off another successful year. After all, New Brunswick’s Durelle, despite 79 pro wins and being ranked number three in the world, was regarded as no threat to the champion, a fact reflected by Montreal’s “Famous Forum” being barely half full for the match and by The Montreal Gazette stating that sports fans “snicker when the name of Yvon Durelle is placed alongside that of Archie Moore.” The story of Archie Moore is, above all else, one of perseverance. While generally not considered part of the famous “Murderers Row” gang — a group of skilled black boxers in the 1940s and 50s who were highly avoided, lacked mob connections, and thus never received title shots — Moore deserves honorary membership considering how long he had to wait for his just due. By the time he finally received a chance at a world crown, Archie had over 150 pro fights on his ledger and was 36-years-old. A man of lesser determination and strength of character would have given up long before.
