i think its imporatnt to add to this fight that douglas was a late sub and came in on only THREE days notice.

Come on, nearly every comment you made has been included.
Do you know who he replaced?

maybe i do, maybe i don't... i must keep my air of mystique. so to answer your question no i do not know who he replaced.

but still its worthy info to add for douglas or cobb fans.

still not added!

whats the beef?

plus why is his loss to savarese listed as a 'KO'. ref just called off the fight without counting, doesn't that make it a TKO?

also, his fights with dion simpson and jesse ferguson (both 1985) were part of the ESPN Eastern Young Heavyweight tournement.

jesses following fight, a 10 rd kayo of tony anthony (the winner of the ESPN Western Young HW tourney), was the ESPN final.

Was the fighter down? For many organizations, if the fighter is knocked down and the referee waves it off without counting or stops mid-count and waves it off, then it is ruled as a KO (rather than TKO).

douglas got up but fell down again. he looked so decrepit the ref just waved it off without bothering to count.

it had been the third time in the rd douglas was on the deck, although there was no 3 knock down rule in place.

We like to keep our air of mystique as well, so maybe we will, maybe we won't. Keep checking the records and someday when all hope is gone and you least expect it.......
