    Douglas won this with a first round KO. But what really attracted me to this video was that I have never seen anything about Dion Simpson except on boxrec and his page says nothing. So here he is at 6’0” 220 lbs and undefeated 17-0. The commentary reveals that he had no amateur career and began fighting in tough man contests. This bout is from 1985. Again it’s only one round. You fast forward through the pre-fight stuff.

    Never saw this one. I don't recall Bob Ley calling fights. Anyway, that was a nasty right hand by Douglas.

    Is there film of Douglas' upset KO loss to Mike White? Almost have to see that one to believe it...
