Yes, he did. It was really something for a welterweight. That's a ton of punches and energy exerted.Quote:

Sugar Ray Robinson boxed 1399 rounds
Roberto Duran boxed 821 rounds
1956 rounds is 5868 minutes which equals 97.8 hours which equates to just about 4 days long.....and that's not counting sparring or training or amateur bouts but just time in a professional ring
I mean that's a fuck ton of fighting
Dorsey was a buzzsaw. His biggest flaw was his flesh. He was so prone to cuts I believe he had surgery to 'shave' down bones under eyes. You ever see the Zack Padilla vs Ray Oliveria fight? Padilla was a sad case of what 'should have been' but a non stop punching machine. Both were involved in punch stat records more than once.Quote:
