As the referee counts, Bill Mathias lies on the canvas after getting knocked down in a boxing match in 1954. Mathias later that year fought Pat McMurtry, who went on to a successful pro boxing career and was ranked as high as the fifth heavyweight boxer in the world. McMurtry ended up with a 33-4-1 career record and had a chance of fighting heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson.Lexicon
