Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto
Oct 1959 Wakefield wins a 4 round decision over Quinn Bynum. In February and April 1960, he wins a 4, 6 and 10 round decisions over Terrell Pruitt, Pruitt and Frank Williams. Wakefield then dissappears from the ring until October 1961 when he's KO'd in 3 by Leroy Roker. Another year and half absence is then broken with an April 1963 matchup against George Chuvalo. Chuvalo knocks out Wakefield in the 6th round and thats it for good for Wakefield's career.
