On November 13, 1953, Kid Gavilan and Johnny Bratton met for the third time at Chicago Stadium in Chicago, Illinois. BoxRec records the bout as a 15-round unanimous decision victory for Gavilan, who defended his welterweight title in a dominant performance.
Their rivalry had already become a major part of welterweight boxing history by this point, with Gavilan having beaten Bratton in their first meeting and the third fight serving as the deciding title defense. Contemporary coverage and later writeups describe it as a one-sided decision for the champion after a full 15 rounds.
This colorized version brings new life to a classic championship fight between two hard-scrapping welterweights from boxing’s golden era. It is one of those fights that helps explain why Kid Gavilan’s name still ranks among the greats of the division.
