    In Pernell's 6th pro fight he fought young,tough journeyman Teddy Hatfield.After easily dominating the first round and the coming close to the end of the 2nd Hatfield hit Whitaker with a blattant low blow and the ref gave Pea a mandatory 8 count.Altough Whitaker did hold Hatfield's head down it was a cler low blow IMO.
