Boxing Trivia (What only Hardcore fans know)

Joking about Jermain Taylor going to prison, I forgot there was a fight or two televised from prisons

One being: Rahway State Prison Dwight Braxton's 16th pro fight. After defeating Saad Muhhamad he changed his name to Muhhamad Qawi.

Hell of a fighter.

I saw Muhhamad Qawi beat Leon Spinks 1986 on KOTV this week. I did not know he actually fought him at cruiser weight.

Nice.

Robin Deakin won his pro debut in 2006 and that’s it. He fought a few weeks ago and lost his 51st straight fight.

And who can forget Reggie Strickland. W/o checking about 380 fights and close to 300 loses

Peter Buckley is right up there also

For me the show stopper has always been Eric Crumble and I've mentioned him before. He fought 31 times and lost all 31 by ko and never went past 2 rounds. His last name simply boots it out of the park.

Granted a lot of Eric's fights were in casinos and saloons.
But isn't there a licensing prerequisite or medical clearance need to be granted before a professional fighter steps into a ring?
Aren't past records taken into consideration?

Apparently not.

If it were up to me.....

Crumble: Sir, I'd like to renew my professional boxing license for an upcoming fight.
Me: Sure thing. What is your professional record thus far?
Crumble: Uhh... 0-30, sir.
(pause)
Me: Okaaaay.... How many of those losses have been by knockout?
Crumble: All 30 of them, sir.
(longer pause)
Me: Uhh... son... have you considered a change in career?

Simmie Black, knocked out 97 times.

Yancey 'Yank' Durham

In 1966,

Would not put Joe Frazier in the Ring with Zora Folley, as 'Yank' was fearful of
Joe's vulnerability to the right-hand.

Zora had a good straight right-hand, and Joe had yet to perfect the ability to
slide off the incoming straight right-hand.

I stand corrected: 97 times?
And the other dude lost 51 straight!? Man these dudes got my respect in the strangest of ways.
