Good answer. I really do need to bring the heat. He was knocking up a gangster's girlfriend. Let me try and get some more work done here and come back with something a little stronger.

all correct..oscar droped joe twice in the first round in ny state where it was scored by rounds not points..on the point system he probably won..there was a 3 knockdown in one round rule in that fight.
