what do you know about the 1990s "no decision" -era (yes, 1990s, no typo)??

i have Always been attracted to boxings underbelly…….you know, Boxing in uregulated states, inflated records, fixed fights etc.

I recently saw an interview with marty jakubowski, a three time world title Challenger in the 90s. while talented, it was his crazy record that really got him his title shots (he was 89-1 when he challenged Miguel angel gonzalez).
going over his record and that of other 90´s midwest fighters like buck Smith, craig houk etc i came across the oddity that all of them had several no decisions on their record. buck Smith in fact fought Harold brazier to a 15 round no decision in 90.

i was a Aware of boxings "no decison era" at the start of the 1900´s...….but 1990s......that is weird as hell.

does anyone have any info on this? how did this go down?

 

that makes sense. but it´s weird that boxrec puts them on your official record. anyway……...you actually got to know buck Smith?? he must have a Million stories to tell.
