EMLL (FRI) 12/28/1956 Arena Coliseo [Box y Lucha 249A, Box y Lucha 250A]
1) Tony Sugar b Mar Ala

Return of Karloff Lagarde
5) Rubén Juárez b Canelo Segura
6) Dorrel Dixon & Tarzán López DQ Gorilla Flores & Ray Mendoza
straight falls, second by DQ
7) Espectro b El Gladiador
Box y Lucha recap is super critical of referee (and trainer) Gonzalo Avenado, saying he’s been anti-Gladiador for a while. (He was the referee of his mask match earlier this year.) Here, he seems to ignore Espectro submitting in the second fall, then helps Espectro remask when it comes off in the third fall. Box y Lucha demands Avenaldo be sent to the prelims or suspended. Rated a 7.

Event Notes: all other matches rated “six and a fraction”
