Greg Haugen vs Hector Camacho

February 23rd, 1991

WBO World Super Lightweight Title Fight

Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada      

February 23rd

1900: Joe Walcott (The Barbados Demon) KO7 Joe Choynski - Some called Choynski the best heavyweight contender to never win the title as he competed favorably with such luminaries as Corbett and Fitzsimmons and handed the great Jack Johnson a rare knockout loss. Amazingly, “The Barbados Demon,” fully thirty-six pounds lighter and a full foot shorter, knocked Choynski down five times in the opening round and went on to batter him into submission with relative ease.
