    Dokes by Bowe.

    I guess it depends on how the commission scored it.

    Here is another example of that: Billy Backus got stopped by Pipino Cuevas..ring Magazine had it as a first round TKO at 3:00 while Boxrec has it as a TKO 2...

    Michael Dokes was stopped in the 1st by Riddick Bowe.

    I don't like dunking on boxers very much, cause it takes a lot to get up there, but what can you even say about Seldon?
    I liked the goofy **** he did in the opening of the Jose Ribalta fight.
