#OnThisDay in 1976 WBA lightweight king Roberto Duran travelled to Erie, Pennsylvania to defend his crown with a savage 14th-round knock out of hometown hero Lou Bizzarro. It was Duran’s eighth successful title defence, all inside the distance. Italian-born Bizzarro’s older brother Johnny was beaten in 12 rounds when he challenged Carlos Ortiz for the title in 1966. #boxing #BoxingNews #RobertoDuran #DuranBizzarro (at Erie County Fieldhouse)
