Although it won't make a big difference.
Its a shame and it still hurts there is no comment in the American Boxing Record Book to the fact that it was an unfair disqualification that was protested in the New York Attletic Commission and they said it was going to be changed to a "No Contest" 'later on'. I guess you have to become a star (Like Roy Jones' Olimpic Medal) for justice to be served. Although it won't make a big difference, at least the comment to the fact that all three judges had given me every single round (which can be verified) would soothe this 18 year old pain. ja ja. Thanks for taking the time to keep all those records straight. And keep up the good work.
Your friend, Ricky
