Deuk-Koo Kim

[Bill Paxtom]

Ray Mancini vs. Dek-Koo Kim

Between Rounds, Deuk-Koo Kim's chief cornerman was putting a towel around his fighter's head.
There were swelling area's on the side of each eye, near the temple area.

But, Dek-Koo was not breathing hard, and was eager to fight on.

Round 12

At the Bell, Ray immediately 'bolted' from his corner to Center-Ring.

But, Referee - Richard Greene halted the bout, because there was an issue with the tape
on Deuk-Koo's right glove.

There was a '33-Second' delay before both fighters came out to Center-Ring to wait for the Bell
to start Round 12.
