That's the thing about this system. Because a round which we would score 10-9 is scored 6-4 - a gap of 2 points instead of 1 - it looks to our...
This was a system where there were 10 points in total for each round, to be divided between the two fighters. So 5-5 for an even round, or 6-4,...
He was, but he didn't formally retire until later in April 1970, so the ratings gave him the benefit of the doubt.
That's true, he was #3 (according to the WBA) when he fought Liston, but the win pushed Martin into the #2 spot behind Frazier. Then Frazier beat...
In other words you can't name a single person "close to Martin" who said that he suffered a detached retina against Wendell Newton. All you can...
Totally untrue. No one "close to Martin" said it was in the Newton fight. No. You said Williams "barely got decision over Simmons". There's no...

Russell Peltz was a promoter who'd seen Martin get a nasty cut during his ko win against Wendell Newton and kinda sorta had a feeling that he...

Yes, I should probably have specified, if there was a mistake, it was by the Police Gazette, not by you!
It's hard to believe this fight could have happened and been so totally forgotten. Also, it seems strange that Munroe boasts about a win over...
The whole "message from beyond" thing is greatly overblown really. Williams pulled out of his rematch with Dick Richardson because he was ill (or...
Jack Kearns certainly went round telling everyone that Moore and Valdes were fighting for "the world heavyweight championship of Nevada". This...
