    Sounds to me like he was up before the count of '10'. The ref could've screwed up or bought him time, but such is boxing. Statements like "technically Robinson lost by KO" is bull****. There is no rule that you have to be up within 10 seconds. You have to be up before the count of ten.

    Freddie Roach once said that Boxing should not be a game of chance. But Dempsey said any man can get lucky and he would know. Thats why he ended them so quickly. But yeah it is funny, though ray maintained Levine was the hardest puncher and he's the one fighting em right?
