It was his loss in Eastern Europe apparently that was worse or as bad as Roy Jones Jr.'s decision granted this was written by Watt, but I think it was a similar fight personally.
He had 9 losses. And he was set to go as a welter weight. but as the time came closer he was no longer able to make it, but the ABA would only alow him to go as a welter. His dad tried and tried to get him in at a higher weight, even willing for joe to fight anyone in an elimination but they would not alow it. The claim was because he had to pull out of numerous bouts aboard and at home due to hand injuries they believed that he only fought when he wanted to, and not for his country. The gerneral feeling at the time was that it was bullshit and a joke not ot let him go.
