    Hmmm...Graham was reportedly knocked to a knee with a round 14 Gavilan right during their fourth bout in Havana, apparently the only time Billy was dropped by a punch in 126 bouts. Loi also had 126 bouts, and is supposed to have never sustained an official knockdown. Now it gets challenging, if neither is the correct answer.
