Mexico & Puerto Rico...

[NChristo]

The official round-by-round scorecards were: Daggert, 4-4-2; Lasky 5-4-1 in favor of Basora; Knaresborough 6-4 in favor of Robinson. It was a hard-fought but not exciting battle, except for several sizzling exchanges. Basora counterpunched effecively. Robinson landed more punches but missed a lot. Neither fighter seemed able to hurt the other. Basora's manager, Chris Dundee, said "We ain't satisfied with a draw." Robinson said "I did my beat but wasn't at my best. Basora is a tough boy, maybe not so tough as Jake LaMotta, but tough enough.

His next fight has been described by boxing historians as Basora's finest moment (an opinion that has been argued as other boxing historians claim that his win over LaMotta should be held as Basora's best moment). Regardless, Basora met Sugar Ray Robinson for the first time on May 14, 1945, holding the man considered by many to be boxing's all time best fighter to a ten round draw in Philadelphia

Nice one, proved yourself wrong, it was a close fight which was a draw.
No win for either side.

Or do you think that if a Puerto Rican boxer is in a draw he gets the win by default ?. :/

JMM-Pacman was a win for Pacman

Cool story, what has that got to do with a fight you have never seen that was a close fight and declared a draw ?.

Basora did not beat Robinson, it was a draw and a loss.

heres an account of the fight, supposely , Basora staggered Robinson. And the descion was unpopular, which you know what that means

Then, on May 14, 1945, Basora fought to a 10-round draw with the greatest prizefighter to ever walk the earth. Sugar Ray Robinson, a 7 to 1 favorite, entered the ring with only a loss to Jake LaMotta tarnishing his 54-1 record. Basora and Robinson met at Convention Hall in Philadelphia in front of over 14,600 spectators. Robinson built up an early lead against Basora with his flashy combinations, but began to wilt from a body attack that had him sagging in the fifth round. Basora pressured Robinson throughout the fight, used head movement and feints to avoid blows, and surprised the crowd with his boxing skills. The fight was up for grabs going into the final round. “A spirited 10th round rally by Robinson failed to pull the bout out of the fire,” reported the newswires. “He caught Basora with sharp lefts and rights and gained the round which save him from a defeat.” An unpopular draw was announced.

Yeah right, the article said he was saved from defeat

which you know what that means

Yes, that he was saved from defeat and the fight was named a draw.
Unpopular draw does not mean you have the right to change the outcome of a fight you've never seen or is even available.

A close fight which was called a draw does not mean you can say it was a win for someone

no, it just means it coulda gone either way, so lets leave it as that, I remenber, I read, (not just from that artcile), but on boxrec, or someplace, the descion was unpopular too. So, he drew with Sugar Ray, quite an accomplishment for a Puerto Rican fighter, when making a Puerto Rican ATG list.

Jose Torres is a role model too,

was in the Army, writer, Olympian and WBC and WBA light heavyweight champion.
