[edit] Robinson-LaMotta

Someone took it upon themselves to add this to the article "Although Robinson won the bouts they were later put in the books as exhibition fights and were not counted in Robinson's professional record." This is totally incorrect and I removed it immediately. All six Robinson-LaMotta fights were official, professional prize fights, not exhibitions. You can check boxrec.com which is in the external links, or you can check any website that has Sugar Ray Robinson's professional boxing record on it. Robinson and LaMotta fought six official fights, not exhibitions.-9/3/06
