man, I miss Tuesday night fights on USA. had a lot of great tilts. Bert was a local legend around Delco/Philly area. Shame he couldn't keep his head on straight.

Loren Ross was hospitalized after this and never fought again. He was on the All Army Boxing team at one time. He passed away in 2013.

I love when he knocked out Rich Melitto in a round in front of his New York crowd! He was something like 17 - 0 and Cooper murders him!

Thank you for covering Loren's story. Loren was one of three who boxed for the national heavyweight championship three times. The other two was Muhammed Ali, and Michael Spinks. After the Burt Cooper fight he was rushed to the hospital where he was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis. He came to Detroit to visit i asked him nephew what happen in theBert cooper fight? He said i couldn't breathe. Sarcoidosis runs in my family.I thank you so much for the coverage he was my nephew!!!!

I have to say watching Ross for the first time. Definitely had potential. Descent jab "almost" similar to Holms(i said almost). Movement was good. Unfortunately fell a little short on the power and chin side. But so did Cooper! Even though he was a small HW man! He put it on! Went out on his 🛡️. Sad to hear what happened to Ross..he had some skills i was impressed 👌
