Frank "The Animal" Fletcher vs. Jerome Jackson

You have Frank Fletcher knocking out Jerome Jackson in the 4th round, but he actually knocked Jackson out in the 5th round. I can offer no proof except my word--they played the fight today on ESPN Classic.

Something else I just noticed--the fight is listed here as being at the Sands Hotel Casino in Atlantic City, but it apparently actually took place at the Resorts International Hotel Casino, also in Atlantic City. Oddly enough, the bar at the bottom of the screen where ESPN Classic gives you info about the fight also says it was at the Sands, but it can be seen clearly painted on the canvas and on posters hanging from the ceiling, as well as when they show the outside of the building, that it was at the Resorts International. Obviously, then, the other fights on that card should also be changed to being at the Resorts International (I know that the Bobby Czyz fight and the Dwight Muhammad Qawi fight were also definitely at the Resorts International because they showed those two fights also, and it would be safe to assume that the other few fights you have listed on the same card probably accompanied them).

Are you sure Resorts International wasn't the promoter of the card? A similar thing occurred with Caesars being shown on the canvas at the Foreman-Frazier rematch at the Nassau Coliseum.

I suppose it's possible, but, like I said, they also panned by the outside of the building and it also said Resorts International.

So........

I guess no one is going to change the record from 4th round KO to 5th round KO, then?
