==Carl Davis versus Bert Cooper Heavyweight Bout==

* Bout originally scheduled for 8 rounds, cut back to 6 rounds due to the long 12 bout card which went off as scheduled in its entirety with no scratches

* The Hammond boxing Card also featured middleweight boxer [[Derrick Findley]], who won his bout

* Davis a former USBO cruiserweight champion, Cooper a former number one ranked heavyweight contender. Perhaps the biggest heavyweight bout of any kind in quiet Indiana in recent years.

In a featured bout on a 12 bout card at the Civic Center in Hammond, Indiana, Chicago heavyweight Carl 'Iron Fist' Davis made a successful return to the heavyweight division after two bouts at cruiserweight, and stopped former top ranked heavyweight 'Smoking' [[Bert Cooper]] in the second round. Davis, 38, stood 6'4" and weighed 227 pounds to Cooper's 5'10" and 243 pounds at age 46 and that proved the difference. Cooper came forward with both hands swinging away for an early knockout. The taller Davis was not there, however. Davis used reach advantage to tag Cooper repeatedly with his left jab. Cooper was hurt near the end of round one throwing a punch while backing up. A counter left had Cooper nearly out on his feet, who covered on the ropes which held him up and survived to the bell ending the round. Cooper came out in the second round with the same game plan, swinging away with both hands but finding no target. Davis threw repeated left-right combinations to Cooper's head, and left hands to Cooper's body, and the shorter, heavier Cooper was unable to escape and eventually got knocked down to the canvas for a count of nine. Cooper beat the count, but he was out on his feet, prompting the stoppage by referee [[Kurt Spivey]]. Time: 2:32 of round two.
