    Which World Champ.. alegedly won a round of boxing, without throwing a punch??

    He made a deal with a journalist/sportswriter to do it, and apparently did.. I've never seen the footage, although its meant to be factual.

    Yes.. I just wondered how many may have heard of this??

    Not a difficult one.. some seem focused on the later years though.

    10 points.

    Mate it's a very tough one to call. From memory, Cortez calls "break" a number of times, as Tszyu clocks him. It's very tough because Joe wasn't very authoritative. Mas didn't want to be there at all and from my recollection, was claiming he had a busted jaw. All in all I'd say it was a fair decision.

    Mate, I remember watching the fight live.. A dislocated jaw may have ensued??? But, the termination of the bout seemed a little phony... god knows why?? Will take some time to view the footage soon.

    Cheers mate.
