Willie Pastrano vs Terry Downes
Light Heavyweight Championship
King's Hall, Belle Vue, Manchester, Lancashire, UK
November 30, 1964
Thanks to a fellow collector for requesting this rare
footage featuring the great Light Heavyweight Champion (1963-65) Willie
Pastrano. Trained by Angelo Dundee, at
his best Pastrano resembled both Muhammad Ali and Willie Pep. He was a glamorous, fast, resourceful and defensive
boxer, who made up for his lack of KO power with constant movement. Here is the original BBC broadcast of
Pastrano’s title defense against former Commonwealth (British Empire)
middleweight champion, Terry Downes.
