Jermaine “Too Sweet” White overcame fierce adversity from testy Anthony Cobb and, as he battered him in the later rounds, garnered a win by retirement when Cobb inexplicably quit in bizarre fashion in the fifth round.

In the opening round, White sported a tighter defense and picked his spots with power shots, while Cobb sported the busier hands, throwing lefts and rights with impunity.

In the second, the two were warned for roughhousing tactics. White appeared to be solving Cobb’s style, setting up and landing his right hand with greater effectiveness, whereas Cobb seemed to slow down in the latter third of the round.

In the third round, White continued to surge, battering and moving Cobb about the ring with a furious two-fisted assault, hurting him with a right hand towards rounds end. Cobb made a point to taunt White at rounds end after White had sat down.

Round four, White laughed at Cobb’s efforts and forced him to hold with a right that drove him into the ropes. White showboated, and then tore into him with a furious body assault. Trying desperately to stop him, White battered him for the remainder of the round. However, Cobb—who mostly covered—remained upright at rounds end.

In the fateful fifth, as White continued to batter him about the ring, Cobb hit White behind the head twice, losing one point. Then, in a bizarre point of protest he laid down on the matt and rolled out of the ring.

Jacob Hall, Indiana State Boxing Commissioner said, “He’s not going to get paid and he’s not coming back to Indiana. He was looking for a way to get out of the fight by dirty tactics once he determined he could not win the fight.”

White, 141.5 lbs., won by retirement at 1:36 into round five, bringing his ledger to 14-1-0 and 8 knockouts, while Cobb, 133.5 lbs., slipped to 4-33-3 with 2 knockouts.
