Sports Fact of the Day 1/29/2007

1/29/1994:
Seemingly unbeatable super-lightweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez of Mexico is upset by 16-1 underdog Frankie Randall of Tennessee at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas. Helped by the only knockdown of the 12-round bout (in the 11th) and two points deducted from Chavez on all three judges' scorecards for repeated low blows, Randall ekes out a split decision to hand Chavez his first loss as a pro (89-1-1). One of the judges scores the fight 114-113 for Randall, meaning that hwithout the two-point reduction Chavez would have won that card, retained his title and remained unbeaten.
