Dempsey/Willard was a scheduled 12 rounder, Butterfly, so say such sources as the New York Times, Oakland Tribune, Chicago Daily Tribune, Washington Post, Fort Wayne News, etc., etc. in the immediate days (including day of) leading up to the fight.
No, Holmes had given up the WBC title because he ducked Super Greg Page- he was never undisputed champ anyway. Hagler was champ then. Although he and Larry were always undisputed champs of the Whining Association.
He is. I can't actually believe a person can be so nice, he must have some underground criminal thing going on or something. Surely no one is that pleasant.* * Only joking. Don't tell him.
He really is a smashing fella, He has time for every one. I speak to him often, but I never have asked him about his boxing career, i just would feel intruding. He sent me flowers for my last birthday, i was made up.
Flowers, eh. I'm impressed. But I've spoken to him about his fights a few times and he seems to love it (maybe because I ask him about wins like Ellis, Smith and Young as opposed to his scrapes with Ali and Peanut Head).
When I saw your name as the last poster i thought 'bet he's got it right'. Nice one squire, it was indeed. :good
Thanks mate. Now if you'd be kind enough to give me a clue on what title fight had a judge score every round a draw I'd be most grateful,as it's got me stumped and is bugging hell out of me.
Is Larry Holmes considered the reigning undisputed world champ? If so then would his fight with Michael Spinks be between to reigning undisputed champs?
