The Tournament

Authors: Troy Rondinone;
Abstract

This chapter details the rising popularity of Gaspar Ortega. Since his first televised fight in March 1956, Gaspar Ortega had ascended from the mass of the unranked to nearly the top of his class. Coming into 1957, he was the number two-ranked welterweight in the world. He had won five straight matches against top-notch boxers. His odd style had “caught the fancy of fight fans and fistic experts alike,” enthused one sportswriter. He was “lithe and graceful” and possessed “dazzling speed,” which made for great TV. On November 1, 1957, Julius Helfand, chairman of the World Championship Committee and New York State Athletic Commission, announced the six contenders for the upcoming “official” welterweight tournament: George Barnes, Virgil Akins, Isaac Logart, Vince Martinez, Gil Turner, and Gaspar Ortega.
