Michael Nunn vs Darnell Knox footage from 1987

This fight really showcased how far Nunn had developed in a short time. He was only a year away from winning the IBF title from Frank Tate.

But one thing I’d like to talk about is the other guy, Darnell Knox. He fought out of Michigan and was with Kronk for a while Retired with a record of 27-2-0-21. Had wins over three undefeated fighters who were 20-0, 16-0 and 15-0. Also beat a few respectable notables like Alex Ramos and Cecil pettigrew. Had decent power too. Knox passed away in 2004 at age 43 from a brain tumor.
