Just saw that. Well, thanks for pointing it out, man. I'd thought for the longest time he got stopped in his first bout.

So did pretty much everyone else, they must of found some new bouts of his just recently.

Oh yeah? Well, glad to not be the only one! I knew I was right at one time.

Same with Billy Conn who I thought lost his first bout, he won his first 3 as well apparently :S

Okay, this makes no sense. I could have sworn Arguello's final mark was 80-8. It's been that for years. Now he has three wins tacked onto the front and three fewer wins overall?

Bad Boxrec.

The great Benny Leonard lost his first bout, I think.


bnoxrec says yes, tko'd with a badly bleeding broken nose in 3 of 4rds

Perhaps this doesn't belong in a thread about debut losses but Wilfredo Gomez had a draw in his pro debut and proceeded to knock out his next thirty two opponents which includes 14 title bouts.
