So when he went to London to fight Minter on his home turf for the title, he took care of business.

His 2 early losses to Willie Monroe and Bobby Watts were questionable as well.

He left Minter a bloody mess... and the british fans showed they had no class at all... they pelted the ring with beer cans and bottles after the fight was stopped.....Minter was fortunate the fight didnt go on any longer.....he may have suffered more serious injuries.
