Clark (December 1, 1933 \u2013 November 5, 2006) was an American professional boxer who fought in the heavyweight division. He was active from 1958 to 1961 and fought a recorded 46 times in his 3 year-career, mostly in his home state of Utah. The Guinness Book of World Records lists Clark as the boxer with the most consecutive knockouts (44), and also the most knockouts in one night (six).[1] Clark’s knockout streak garnered him nationwide press attention,[2] though some commentators have derided the poor quality of his opposition.Table of ContentsAmateur career[edit]Professional career[edit]Personal life[edit]Professional boxing record[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Amateur career[edit]Clark claimed an amateur record of 25\u20132, winning a regional Golden Gloves championship in the process.[3]Professional career[edit]Clark was managed by Merv Jensen, who also managed middleweight champion Gene Fullmer.[3] He made his professional debut on January 4, 1958, winning a six round decision over John Hicks. Subsequently, Clark won his next 44 bouts by knockout. The Historical Dictionary of Boxing describes the quality of his opposition in these bouts as “poor”.[3] None was a rated contender and most had little or no professional experience. In a December 1959 column reflecting on Clark’s long KO streak, Red Smith wrote: “Up to now Clark has been whipping sheep herders and streetcar conductors”, and thus reserved judgement on his ability.[4]To build publicity for Clark, Jensen arranged for him to fight twice in one night; Clark won both bouts by KO. Clark followed up by knocking out three opponents on 10 November 1958 and six opponents on 1 December 1958 (including five in the first round and one within 7 seconds).[3] Another of Clark’s wins was against Tony Burton, who later appeared in the Rocky movies, in a bout refereed by Jack Dempsey. On 11 January 1960, Clark knocked out Kenneth Hayden, his 44th consecutive knockout, surpassing the previous record held by Billy Fox.[5]In April 1960, Clark was matched with Bartolo Soni, described as a “tough journeyman” who had never been knocked out.[3] Clark was unable to KO Soni and was himself stopped in the ninth round. Clark then fought Pete Rademacher, the 1956 Olympic gold medalist and former heavyweight title contender; Rademacher won by a tenth round knockout. His last fight was on April 19, 1961 against Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali). Clay broke Clark’s nose and knocked him out in the second round. Clark retired after this fight.[6][7][8]Other sources state that Clark had 42 or 45 knockouts.[9][3]Personal life[edit]Clark died on November 5, 2006 aged 72.  Clark was survived by his wife of 46 years, Brenda and his daughters Nicole Clark-Romano, Cherese Jones and Theresa Clark.  As well as son-in-laws Tony Romano and Brent Jones and Theresa\u2019s son, Dillen LaMar Clark.[10]Professional boxing record[edit]46\u00a0fights43 wins3 lossesBy knockout423By decision10No.ResultRecordOpponentTypeRound, timeDateLocationNotes46Loss43\u20133 Cassius ClayKO2 (10), 1:271961-04-19 Freedom Hall State Fairground, Louisville, Kentucky, USA45Win43\u20132 Chuck WilburnKO2 (10)1961-03-04 Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA44Loss42\u20132 Pete RademacherTKO10 (10), 2:271960-06-29 Derks Field, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA43Loss42\u20131 Bartolo SoniTKO9 (10), 2:021960-04-08 Weber High School Gymnasium, Ogden, Utah, USA42Win42\u20130 Kenneth HaydenKO1 (6), 0:591960-01-11 Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA41Win41\u20130 Kooey GarciaKO1 (8), 1:071960-01-02 West Jordan, Utah, USA40Win40\u20130 Charley DavisKO1 (8)1959-12-04 George Nelson Field House, Logan, Utah, USA39Win39\u20130 Tony BorneKO1 (8)1959-05-04 Salt Lake City, Utah, USA38Win38\u20130 Treach PhillipsKO1 (8)1959-05-04 Salt Lake City, Utah, USA37Win37\u20130 Tony BurtonKO4 (6)1959-04-04 Polo Grounds, Palm Springs, California, USA36Win36\u20130 Rod OrellKO1 (8), 1:291959-03-20 Fairgrounds Coliseum, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA35Win35\u20130 Ferrin BarrKO1 (8)1959-02-07 Helper, Utah, USA34Win34\u20130 Ferrin BarrKO2 (6)1959-01-26 Eldred Recreation Center, Provo, Utah, USA33Win33\u20130 Bob HallKO1 (8)1959-01-24 Helper, Utah, USA32Win32\u20130 Ox AndersonKO2 (8)1959-01-23 Fairgrounds Coliseum, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA31Win31\u20130 Phil PaxtonKO1 (8), 1:391959-01-16 Uintah High School Gym, Vernal, Utah, USA30Win30\u20130 Dennis ForslandKO1 (8), 1:311958-12-26 Fairgrounds Coliseum, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA29Win29\u20130 Ferrin BarrKO2 (8)1958-12-22 Cedar City, Utah, USA28Win28\u20130 Cornell ButlerKO1 (8), 1:211958-12-15 Arena, Cleveland, Ohio, USA27Win27\u20130 Allan HedgeKO1 (8), 0:351958-12-15 Arena, Cleveland, Ohio, USA26Win26\u20130 Del RandallKO1 (8), 0:221958-12-01 Bingham, Utah, USAPart of ‘Intermountain Heavyweight Champion’ tournament.25Win25\u20130 John LowdKO1 (8), 1:191958-12-01 Bingham, Utah, USAPart of ‘Intermountain Heavyweight Champion’ tournament.24Win24\u20130 Dick PierceKO1 (8), 0:441958-12-01 Bingham, Utah, USAPart of ‘Intermountain Heavyweight Champion’ tournament.23Win23\u20130 Jack ReadTKO1 (8), 0:071958-12-01 Bingham, Utah, USAPart of ‘Intermountain Heavyweight Champion’ tournament.22Win22\u20130 Tom KiddKO1 (8)1958-12-01 Bingham, Utah, USAPart of ‘Intermountain Heavyweight Champion’ tournament.21Win21\u20130 Wayne EnnisKO2 (8), 1:371958-12-01 Bingham, Utah, USAPart of ‘Intermountain Heavyweight Champion’ tournament.20Win20\u20130 Sain ThompsonKO1 (8)1958-11-29 Kanab, Utah, USAPart of ‘Intermountain Heavyweight Champion’ tournament.19Win19\u20130 Jimmy KingKO1 (8), 2:121958-11-28 Kanab, Utah, USAPart of ‘Intermountain Heavyweight Champion’ tournament.18Win18\u20130 Hal CrumpKO2 (8), 1:401958-11-28 Kanab, Utah, USAPart of ‘Intermountain Heavyweight Champion’ tournament.17Win17\u20130 Ken HowardKO1 (4), 1:351958-11-10 Fairgrounds Coliseum, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA16Win16\u20130 Dick TannerRTD2 (4), 3:001958-11-10 Fairgrounds Coliseum, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA15Win15\u20130 Maurice LenieceKO1 (4), 2:111958-11-10 Fairgrounds Coliseum, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA14Win14\u20130 Ricky SmithKO1 (4), 2:321958-10-13 West Jordan Elementary School, West Jordan, Utah, USA13Win13\u20130 Oscar TalleyKO1 (4), 0:551958-10-13 West Jordan Elementary School, West Jordan, Utah, USA12Win12\u20130 Rusty DavisKO1 (6), 2:011958-09-11 Derks Field, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA11Win11\u20130 Joe SullivanKO4 (8)1958-07-26 Arena, West Jordan, Utah, USA10Win10\u20130 Willie DaltonKO1 (8)1958-07-17 West Jordan, Utah, USA9Win9\u20130 Dynamite JacksonKO1 (6), 0:371958-07-07 West Jordan, Utah, USA8Win8\u20130 Buck DixonKO4 (4), 0:391958-06-04 West Jordan Park, West Jordan, Utah, USA7Win7\u20130 Jerry OlsterKO2 (8)1958-04-05 Cedar City, Utah, USA6Win6\u20130 Buck DixonKO1 (4), 2:301958-03-03 Fairgrounds Coliseum, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA5Win5\u20130 Keith JacobsenKO1 (4), 1:021958-01-28 Fairgrounds Coliseum, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA4Win4\u20130 Jack ReadKO2 (8)1958-01-21 Cedar City, Utah, USA3Win3\u20130 John HicksKO3 (8)1958-01-18 Cedar City, Utah, USA2Win2\u20130 Willard WhitakerKO2 (10)1958-01-11 Cedar City, Utah, USA1Win1\u20130 John HicksPTS6 (6)1958-01-04 Cedar City, Utah, USAReferences[edit]External links[edit]"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/lamar-clark-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"LaMar Clark – Wikipedia"}}]}]
