Griffith had been taking a beating from the game Paret, of Santa Clara, Cuba, before he ended it all with a savage two-fisted attack to the head as an estimated 5,000 fans roared with surprise. The two fighters came out for the 13th round working furiously to the body. Referee Jimmy Peerless separated them near Paret's corner and then Griffith threw a long left hook that caught the champion flush on the jaw.

Another left hook dropped him near Griffith's corner where he lay at full length while Peerless tolled the count of 10." -United Press International Unofficial UPI scorecard - 116-113 Paret Unofficial AP scorecard - 117-112 Griffith "Gil Clancy, my manager, slapped me in the face in the corner just before the 13th round started. That's what woke me up. I was looking for a decision but when I saw the opening I let go." -Emile Griffith
