What is the record number of knockdowns suffered by a boxer in a single boxing match who went on to win?

Professional boxer, who got knocked down the most number of times, but then went on to win the boxing match.|||In 1909 Joe Jeanette was knocked down 27 times and still went on to beat Sam McVey by TKO in the 50th round.|||Pal Reed had the distinction of 4 knockdowns in the first round but came back and won the fight in the end by decision.





%26quot;Back in the 1920%26#039;s, Pal was one of the biggest gate attractions in the business. His services were greatly in demand. The big southpaw mutt-slinger, who fought out of Framingham, Mass., then, was a crowd-pleaser all the way and those who had the pleasure of watching him in action are in complete agreement that a gamer lad never stepped into the ring . . . At one particular stage of his amazing career, Reed was ranked among the five best battlers of that time. . . Pal was blessed with one of the most lethal left hands in the boxing game and the number of antagonists he literally pounded into slumberland attested to his prowess.%26quot; - Leo E. Cloutier, Former Sports Editor for The Union Leader (Manchester, NH), circa 1953.





Nickname: %26quot;The Fighting Parson%26quot; - Pal was widely regarded as one of the cleanest sportsman the ring has ever known; outside of the ring, he did not drink, smoke, or use profanity, and he taught Sunday School at local churches for many years, including during his professional career.





MISCELLANIOUS CAREER NOTES





Not once in 80 professional bouts was he ever floored for the full count; the nearest to a KO defeat was sustained at the hands of Mickey Walker in Boston, May 30, 1922, when he battled one complete round with a broken ankle and was forced to quit in the fourth stanza. In a fight with heavyweight Pat McCarthy, he was knocked down four times in the first round, but came back to win in a decision. He once defeated the %26quot;colored%26quot; champion of the time, George Robinson, despite having broken both hands during the fight - the right hand during the 2nd round, and the left hand during the 11th round.





路 Fought out of Framingham, Mass.





路 Held the title of New England Middleweight Champion for 3 years





路 Fought 6 world champions during his 80-bout professional career: Mickey Walker, Tiger Flowers, Jack Delaney, Tommy Loughran, Johnny Wilson, and Harry Greb (three times). He fought Greb, Delaney, and Flowers when they actually reigned as world champions, but despite the fact that he came close, he never succeeded in winning a world crown.
