"Dr. George Schenewerk stopped the fight after the second round because of a bad cut above Randall's left eye. The decision was announced as a TKO win for Cokes but later Sammy George, deputy boxing commissioner, reversed it to a draw, ruling that Cokes had butted Randall to open the cut in the first round."
