      Pascal's fights with Diaconu (particularly the first one) were excellent.

                Yes sir.

                1958-12-10 : Archie Moore 173¾ lbs beat Yvon Durelle 172 lbs by KO at 0:49 in round 11 of 15

                Location: Forum, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

                Referee: Jack Sharkey

                Judge: Rene Ouimet 46-45

                Judge: Harry Shulman 44-42

                Judge: Leon Germain 44-42

                World Light Heavyweight Title

                Referee: Jack Sharkey

                Attendance: 8,000; Gate: $89,940


                Moore was knocked down four times, three times in the first round; while Durelle was floored four times himself before being counted out by Referee Sharkey. This bout was voted by members of the Canadian Press as the "Sporting Event of the Year." According to the United Press International report of the bout, one of Moore's visits to the canvas in the first round was officially ruled a slip: "Moore was on the canvas three times in the first round for two official knockdowns and one trip that Sharkey ruled a slip."

                  One of the most entertaining fighters of all time Arturo Gatti fought Joe Hutchinson at the Molson Centre in Montreal before aswell,but was not one of his most memorable performances.
