HISTORIAN PELTZ ON “BAD BENNIE” BRISCOE
Carlos Monzon-Bennie Briscoe
PELTZ STATEMENT OF ON BRISCOE SAID IT ALL!
Philadelphia, PA
– Bennie Briscoe, one of the best never to win a world title (when world titles meant something) and the man who presided over the last Golden Age of Boxing in Philadelphia (the 1970s) passed away Tuesday at 5.52pm EST. He had been in Temple University hospital for about a week before being moved to hospice. His wife Karen Briscoe, who I have been in contact with over the last two weeks, called me with the bad news. (Note: RT.com will do a feature on Briscoe in the coming days)
