Notable Dates

Light welterweight Kid Carrington had his last of 10 professional fights on December 2, 1983. Carrington lost the six rounds fight against Trinidadian Ashton Wilson by a unanimous decision. The fight was held at the Jean Pierre Sports Complex in Trinidad. Carrington made his debut in January 1974 but was defeated by Lennox Blackmoore in four rounds.
On December 2, 1995 in Miami, Florida middleweight Steve Frank needed half of the six rounds allotted to the fight to knock out James Mason.
One month later, Frank was on the receiving end when he challenged then IBF middleweight champion Bernard `The Executioner’ Hopkins for the title.
Hopkins took only 24 seconds to dispatch the Guyanese. On the same night that Steve Frank defeated Mason, younger brother Raul, a welterweight won (on points) against Harold Bennett in another six rounder.
