ca. 1962. Portrait of young boxer in bare-fisted stance, ca. 1962. This is Denny Moyer, Portland middleweight. He was a former Tacoma Golden Gloves junior middle champion. Moyer would win an unanimous decision over former welterweight and middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson in a February 17, 1962, rematch at Madison Square Garden. The 22-year-old boxer had lost a previous decision to the 41-year-old Robinson. Moyer would gain the attention of the nation again when he fought welterweight champ, Emile Griffith, in a 10-round non-title event on August 18, 1962. He would lose to Griffith by a split decision in the nationally televised bout.(TNT 2-18-62, B-10, TNT 8-17-62, A-1, 8-19-62, A-1)

ca. 1962. Portrait of boxer Emile Griffith. He has his fists clenched as he stares into the distance. He would meet Portland middleweight Denny Moyer in a 10-round matchup at the Tacoma Sports Arena on August 18, 1962. Griffith, the world welterweight champion, would not have his title at stake as both fighters would weigh over the 147 pound welter limit. The fight would be televised nationally on ABC as its "Fight of the Week." Griffith would win a split decision over Moyer before a crowd of approximately 2,600 - not a bad gate considering the match was not blacked out locally. (TNT 8-17-62, A-1, 8-19-62, A-1)
