2. Willie Pep Is The Only Boxer To Ever Win A Round Without Throwing A Punch
There's only one way he did that, and that was by taking a leaf out of Patches O'Houlihan's notebook. Way back in 1947, Pep fought Jackie Graves and told all those at ringside to watch closely in the third round. Willie pulled his opponent all over the ring, dipping out of the way of Jackie's offence. He would start a punch and the pull out at the last second. He made a right mockery of someone who was renowned as one of the better fighters at the time. Somehow, Pep won that round on points and would go on to win the fight.
