Um...I'm guessing Sugar Ray knocked him out.

He won by decision... heres a quote from an article about the fight.. yall quick to underestimate pinoys brah... Good find though I found it interesting.

"The fastest and most exciting battle seen in a Chicago ring since the Rocky Graziano-Tony Zale battle in the Stadium a year before... Docusen proved a foeman worthy of Robinson’s keenest steel... The flashy Filipino was not daunted in the least by Robinson’s reputation... For ten rounds Docusen fought Robinson on fairly even terms, and there was little to choose... Robinson pulled his waning forces together at the start of the eleventh."
