    Julian Jackson presumably. He went to points 6 times in 61 fights, scored 49 KOs of his own, and got KO'd 6 times.

    Someone went the full distance in even fewer fights.

    Ibeabuchi? Though he only had about 20 fights. I know Edwin Valero never ever went to points, but he was 21st century.

    Ibeabuchi only went the full distance 5 times - but he was never a world champ.
    Anyway, we're looking for someone with less than 5 distance fights (actually, there are two former champs who tie for the record).

    We're now down to 4 distance fights - but we can go even lower.

    No - he actually had only 1!
    He is credited with 2 wins on points, but one was a technical decision in 5 rounds of a planned 10-rounder... so only one of his fights lasted the scheduled distance.

    But Cuello is certainly a right answer to this question - can you find another?

    Yes, But lets see if someone else can come up with the other one. If no one answers it by tonight, I will give you the answer.

    Yes, Bruno did only have 2, but he is looking for someone else who only had 1.

    Think small.

    His guy won only 1 decision, as he stopped all his other opponents, and was stopped 4 times in his 5 loses, the other lost came by DQ. So he only went the scheduled distance once, like Miguel Angel Cuello did.
