Look, another unrelated article mentioning 3 Louis/Valdez exhibitions and the knockout loss. The case is closed as far as I'm concerned. So Valdes turned to boxing, wound up three exhibitions with Joe Louis, getting himself knocked out in the last one in Houston [url]http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/895448/[/url]
Valentino was ahead on 2 of the 3 scorecards at the time of the knockout in his title fight vs Charles. Not many people know this.
Exhibition or not, that's impressive. He wouldn't be stopped again until the second Machen fight 6 years later at 32 years of age after going the distance with Satterfield, Moore, Baker, and Charles.
Not at all if there were three fights and Louis knocked him out I'm happy to concede I was wrong. I won't cost me anything.:huh
No I didnt deny it ,I acted in good faith .I don't tell lies and I don't like ****s insinuating I have a subjective agenda. Forget my jocular posts on the matter go **** yourself!
Well, I'm insiuating it. What of it? No idea why you just couldn't admit you were mistaken on the matter. Weren't you just lecturing other posters about admiting to mistakes and how you always man up when you are wrong? Bull****.
The post where I was called a **** and told to *** myself took priority. And yes, I've been told I'm thicker tham most but this is a boxing forum.
To whom It may concern, I asserted on the Louis v Valentino thread that Louis did not ko Nino Valdes in their two exhibition matches.I was adamant about this, using Joe Louis's autobiography," My Life ", for my point of reference.Turns out they had three exhibitions and Louis kod Valdes in one. SO, I WAS WRONG!
Mcvey a real man can admit his mistakes. It's priceless to have someone with integrity on an Internet forum. Thank you.
