Fighting Harada vs Eder Jofre 2, , Highlights
Eder Jofre 116 lbs lost to Fighting Harada 118 lbs by UD in round 15 of 15 Date: 19660531 Location: Nippon Budokan, Tokyo, Japan. Fighting Harada showed 15, 00 cheering fans in Tokyo s Budokan Hall that his close, hotly disputed title win over Eder Jofre in May, 1965, was no fluke. He took everything the squat, powerful South American threw at him hooks to the body, smashes to the head and had Jofre on the ropes with his left brow streaming blood and his eyes staring skyward at the final bell. It was a close, punchforpunch battle. There were no Pacific Stars Stripes. Referee Nick Pope penalized Harada the 7th round due to butting Jofre twice. Post fight comments: Without that dirty headwork, the result would have been Abraham Katzenelson, Jofre s manager. I thought he hit a lot harder in Fighting Harada
