    Miske won on a foul, not sure of the details though

    It was a low blow from Gibbons which got him DQ'd in that one.

    How was Gibbons performing before he got DQ'ed?

    Was it a desperation tactic?

    He was said to winning the fight according to the day-afters from the NY Times, Washington Post, etc., but "accidently" landed a right hand below Miske's beltline soon after the 10th round began, which Miske was not able to recover from.

    No, not a desperation tactic, at all, from what I gather.

    I think Gibbons just had Miskes number generally.

    Hah, don't think I'm going to hold it against poor Miske anyway. ;)
