Robinson tells a great story about that fight. The reporters asked him if he'd carry Armstrong and Ray said the only way Henry would go the distance was if Ray couldn't knock him out. Well Ray carries him the whole way and a furious reporter corners Ray after the fight and asks why he lied. Ray's Response? "I didn't lie. I just COULDN'T knock him out." The reporter laughed and said fair enough.
