Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Gerhard Hecht

I'm more in awe of that repeated triple left hook to the body and head.

 

First time I've seen anyone KO'd by kidneypunches. But he was holding Robinson, so he only has himself to blame.

 

reminds me of a Roy Jones body shot

 

What weight division was that again?

 

it was at middle.
a certain randolph adolphus turpin was a couple of months away from beating robinson for the world title

 

I say the kraut took a french exit.

 

So SRR weighed 157.5 and Hecht 165 for this bout. I see. :think

 

mr pedantic:roll:.
super middle then,no it wasn't around then.light heavy, no.light middle,no.

bantam,feather, welter no,no,no,.middle it is.:good

 

the ko blow was indeed a foul blow, The ref was not relly doing his job, letting Robinson get away with that many kidney shots.

 

Are you on drugs bro? You don't read boxing boards often, what?

 

****in Frenchie.

 

This fight was changed to a `no contest` officially.

I count it as a KO in Robinsons favour, personally.

 

:roll:

 

The most memorable thing about this fight was the fans rioting and throwing bottles at Robinson although it was shown in this version of the film.
