    That about sums it up, but if you want more specifics, just ask.
    Very much I want, because very interesting facts, I did not know many of which.
    And why Jack Kearns has staked on a knockout in the first round? Why he was so is confident a victory already in the first round?

      I have unsuccessfully formulated an idea. I wanted to hear from you the most improbable dirty acts of boxers in fights for a title.

        Ali vs Cooper...Ali had been just knocked down by cooper, in between rounds Angelo Dundee(Ali trainer) noticed a small rip in his glove. knowing that his fighter had been hurt and needed time to recover, he made the rip bigger and brought it to the attension of the referee so that Ali could change gloves and get his bearings back.

        I don't think it was such a big deal back then but could you imagine what would happen now if a cornerman like,I don't know, Norman Stone ripped his fighter's glove. It would be a huge scandal!

          Many--if not most-- of Ad Wolgast fights were said to be so foul-filled as to be scandalous. And many of Battling Nelson's fights were reported to be not too far behind.

            Tyson biting Holy's ear. Although I don't remember whether or not a belt was on the line because Bowe had lost the WBA and IBF belt to Holyfield, the illegal low blow tactics of Golota was unbelievable at the time. Also a Doctor shooting up Golota with a painkiller in his arteries instead of the musle that was giving him trouble which resluted in Golota passing out twice and getting high before his fight against Lennox Lewis was very scandalous, however was never discussed publicly.

              Bowe-Golota would have to be #1. But another one would have to be mosley and Dlh 2. I think mosley was surprised he won that one.

                Dempsey v. Tunney. Without the long count, Dempsey would have gotten up and finished his man.

                  Neither of the Bowe-Golota fights were for titles.
