==Career Review==

'''Billy Daniels''' was a promising heavyweight in the early 1960s. Daniels stood 6 feet 4 inches and in his prime weighed 185 pounds.

He served in the U.S. Airforce from 1956-1960, and fought on the US Airforce Boxing Team. In 1956, he won the Bratanica Shield 175lbs. Title. A year later he captured the 12th Airforce, USAEF, and Bratanica Shield Lightheavyweight Titles.

Daniels was trained by future world lightheavyweight champion [[Bob Foster]] while in the Airforce. In 1958, Daniels won the 12th Airforce, USAEF, Bratanica Shield, All-Air Force, and CISM Championships.

Upon his discharge in 1960, Daniels won the New York Golden Gloves Heavyweight Title. He retired from amateur boxing with a record of 45-5.

Daniels was a good boxer with decent punching power. He racked up an undefeated record of 16-0. Following a knockout over [[Mike DeJohn]], Daniels was rated 10th in the World Heavyweight rankings in [[Ring Magazine]] for the month ending November 21, 1962.

Billy Daniels was featured on the cover of the [[Ring Magazine: October 1962|October 1962]] ''The Ring'' magazine, along with a young [[Muhammad Ali]]. In a battle of undefeated prospects, Daniels was stopped on cuts by Ali.

Following his loss to Ali, Daniels went on to score an upset decision over highly rated [[Doug Jones]] to earn a birth in a heavyweight title elimination tournament. In the opening round, Daniels was decked and lost a one-sided decision to [[Cleveland Williams]]. After the loss to Williams, Daniels' once promising career took a nosedive. He started losing, and after suffering a 6th round knockout loss to [[Joe Frazier]] and a first round loss to [[Jerry Quarry]], Daniels retired to concentrate on his barber business.

In 1972, after a five year layoff, Daniels returned to the ring, only to drop an upset decision to [[Bob Stallings]] in New York. Daniels managed to score back-to-back 10 round decision victories and earned a fight with undefeated [[Duane Bobick]] who was 19-0 (19 knockouts). Daniels surprised Bobick and the experts, by not only lasting the distance, but by putting up a good fight.

Daniels was slated for a rematch with Bobick, but took a tune-up in California against promising [[Pedro Lovell]]. Daniels was stunningly knocked out in under 3 minutes.

Billy Daniels continued to fight until the age of 40. He even managed to box a 10 round draw with hard-punching [[Jeff Merritt]].
* Had a scheduled rematch with [[Duane Bobick]] on April 30, 1974 in Miami Beach, Florida at the Miami Beach Auditorium. [[Hank Kaplan]] wrote, "Don't forget the return match between title-bound [[Duane Bobick]] and [[Billy Daniels]], the only man to go the distance with him in 20 outings, on April 30th at the [[Miami Beach Auditorium]]. The result of this fight is unknown.

Terry McGroom was a very tough Heavyweight/Cruiserweight. McGroom had a good amateur career capped with a silver medal from the 1990 Goodwill Games in the 81KG division. McGroom started off his pro career going undefeated in his first 11 fights when he met his hardest
fight in the pros. He faced Darrol Wilson, a heavy hitting heavyweight who would make a name for himself later on, and battled his way to a 10 round draw.
McGrooms next big fight was a 8th round TKO loss to future number one contender
Kirk Johnson. Johnson was much bigger than McGroom and slugged him to the
canvas. After the loss to Johnson, McGroom's first, he became inactive. Fighting
once a year and not gaining much momentum. His impressive
Victory over Estaban Pizzarro
earned him the biggest fight of his career against James Toney. It was a close
fight with Toney and some thought the decision should have been given to McGroom
. None the less a great impression was made and McGroom made himself a name in
the cruiserweight division. Inactivity again hurt McGroom as he sat on the
side lines for over a year before he challenged Vasily Jirov for his IBF
Cruiserweight belt. The result was a shocking one round KO for Jirov, the result
from one well place body blow from the best body puncher in the game. McGroom
has not fought since.

== Amateur Highlights ==
*1987 National Golden Gloves Light Heavyweight champion
*1988 National Golden Gloves Light Heavyweight champion
*1989 National Golden Gloves Light Heavyweight champion
*1991 United States Amateur Light heavyweight champion

Johann Duhaupas vs. Robert Helenius

<fight>2045624</fight>

*WBC Supervisor: Oksana Semesishna

==Vacant World Boxing Council Silver Heavyweight Title Bout==

* Helenius down in fourth and sixth rounds. Helenius weighed 254 pounds, heaviest of his career.
* BoxRec top 20 Johann Duhaupas with this bout now has fought Robert Helenius, [[Deontay Wilder]] and [[Erkan Teper]] in the past 12 months who combined for a record of 71-0.
* Midway through the sixth round, Duhaupas, seeing a split second opening with perfect timing, nailed a wide open Helenius standing in front of him with a straight power right hand to the chin. Helenius fell backward on his back. The bell rang when he was down. Helenius seemed to beat the count at nine, but after rising to his feet he staggered uncontrollably forward across the entire ring. Helenius went straight into the ropes and tried to hold on, but collapsed as his legs were gone, and he did not arise for a knockout loss at 3:08 of the sixth round, ending the contest. In order to have actually beaten the count, Robert Helenius had to stay on his feet after getting up, but was unable to do so. As such, an official ten count knockout then occurred.
* Round six: Heavyweight contender Duhaupas knocks out Robert Helenius at 3:08 as referee Jose Guadalupe Garcia signals the end of the contest. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVL0_EQGrxE]] Helenius on his back at end.

* Parker versus Williams October 2014 ten round heavyweight bout in New Zealand, highlights on YouTube.[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ3gERg0t64]]
* Veteran Bahaman heavyweight Sherman 'The Tank' Williams, age 42, felt he won the bout, complaining after Parker got a hometown New Zealand decision. Parker, 22, won the bout as he backed up Williams throughout, with the younger Parker landing key power shots to head and body which hurt Williams on a number of occasions.
* In the last five bouts Sherman Williams did not win, all decision losses, the four rising prospects who beat him had a combined record of 56-0. Williams also had a No-Contest with ex-world heavyweight champ [[Evander Holyfield]].
Note: the you tube vidio no longer exists or no longer is posted per the account it once had; and..the account here citing that Williams had lost his last five fights doesn't correspond to the facts of the print record here.
