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?
