[Rocco Del Sesto]

I did this very quick rating and offer it up as I found the photo when researching Paul Ray Storie's history. Seeing the articles about Robinson in his fight against Stories the articles mention Robinson with a 20-25 wins to 5 loss record. Wondered. Did a quick search and pretty quick found an article back in 1974 of Robinson fighting a bout on Dec 7, 1974 on a card that Henry Clark featured against Roy Williams. BoxRec does not record the Robinson fight that the article says a Stan Ward KO'd a Rocky Robinson from LA. So going to see what else I can dig up for Rocky (Rockie) Robinson of Los Angeles.
Right now in BoxRec he stands at with the two articles about fight with Storie

Career Record: W0(KO 0) / L4(KO 3) / D0

NOv 11 and 14 1976 The Marshall News Messenger, Texas pre fight accounts of Storie's first regular fight with Rocky Robinson of Los Angeles California put Robinson's heavyweight professional record at 20-5-5 and 25-5-5. BoxRec only lists a record of 0-3-0 with two KO's before meeting Storie. Joe Louis is announced to be coming in to referee the bout at the Wiley College Gymnasium, which is noted with a seating capacity of 2500.

22 Nov 1976, The Marshall News Messenger, Texas - There were 7 bouts in the fight card that featured Paul Ray Storie's professional debut with a 2nd round KO of Rockie Robinson. BoxRec shows Robinson as Rocky.A quick left hook within 30 seconds of the first round from Storie sent Robinson to the canvas. Robinson got up to fight on but then in the second round two lefts sent Robinson into the corner and then Storie connected with a right upper cut that put Robinson out.
An interesting side note in the article, Storie recounted how his last fight came as an amatuer back in 1965.He gave his reason for leaving the ring, "I got married, well, it was the week before, and when I met my wife I had a broken nose, so..". Hmm, broken nose, shape of things to come. Former Welterweight Champion, Curtis Cokes, a native of Dallas, refereed Storie's match.
