Henry Culpepper - HW

Henry Culpepper - HW
Career Record: W3(KO 1) / L3(KO 1) / D0
(BoxRec#34453)
Alias: Super Pepper
Debut: 1971-07-08
=======================================
Culpepper fought his first four bouts in the United States at Olympic Auditorium, Los Angeles posting 3 win's & 1 loss vs really no one of note.

Beat John McGauhey ( KO 1/ 4) - Fred Everett (Pts 6/6) - Howard Smith (Pts 6/6)
Lost to Vic Scott ( KO 1/4)

Culpepper then travels to Japan to fight HW Alonzo Johnson (#9369) With a record of 23(6) - 18(5) - 1 at Nippon Budoakn. Culpepper takes a loss by Pts going 10 rounds with Johnson. This was Alonzo Johnson's last fight as he was fading at the end of his career, losing his prior 6 bouts vs good competition. Alonzo Johnson was also a sparring partner for Muhammad Ali.

Culpepper then returns to the United States to fight HW slugger Leroy Jones whom was 7-0 at the time, at the Silver Slipper, Las Vegas. Culpepper takes a loss by UD going 8 of 8 rounds vs the hard hitting Jones. Appears that was the end of boxing for Culpepper, still his last two bouts were good fights.
