Post by Controversial »

As discussed in the boxers of the past forum YouTube footage if the pre fight introductions the fight is announced as being over 12 rounds, yet boxrec shows it as a 10 round fight.

That's the debate we were having, it is always counted as being one of Holmes' 20 title defences.....

Well it is an easy investigation. Call the nevada athletic commision, ask them politely to fax you the commision result sheet. It will say 10 or 12 rds and if there is a title at stake, it will say. Then scan it and email us with it so we can upload it. We will make the appropriate changes.

Same as Foreman-Cooney etc -- a Word Heavyweight Title fight -- no need for sanctioning organization.

-- Mike D



OOOOOPS -- I meant Spinks v. Cooney!!
