Tacoma's Pat McMurtry lands a left jab to the forehead of Ruben Vargas in a heavyweight fight in Tacoma on March 17, 1957. Against the hard-punching Vargas, McMurtry took some hard overhand rights and appeared to have lost the first two rounds. But McMurtry landed a hard left hook on Vargas' chin in the third round and Vargas dropped to the canvas for the first time in his career. McMurtry dropped him again and won by a third-round knockout. McMurtry's pro record was 33-4-1 with 25 knockouts and he had a 103-2 amateur record.Lexicon
