    Little Rock Jackson (or someone else)?

    I remember many years back, reading a story of an older boxer, most likely from the pre-war era and not a highly rated one, whose consistent strategy was as follows: he would come out wildly aggressive for the first round or two, throwing everything he had in search of a KO, and then, if unsuccessful, would intentionally take a knee or quit, essentially having bet it all on the early knockout.

    I don't remember the name of the fighter, couldn't find anything on the web or in any books. Though as I wrote this most likely was a lower level fighter. I tried a few AI searches and one came up with the the name of Homer "Little Rock" Jackson as a possibility, but couldn't confirm (and I couldnt find anything anywhere to confirm either).

    Any thoughts on who this fighter was, might have been, or just some weird fever dream I had?

    - - Dunno, but boxing is filled with those kinds of mysteries.

    How about what we know about Ali Raymi of Yemen, 25-0, 25 KOs who was challenging l'l floydy in the media while battering ignorant boxing fans in their own English in media forums.

    Killed in a civil uprising...
