Are you going off memory or did you go back and watch the tape?
I watched the tape very carefully, a few times, BEFORE I started this thread. What you have written is NOT true.

Dorsey's right hand never left the ring and he slapped the board with his left hand only.

PS The T against Syracuse last year was not for hanging on the ring. It was for slapping the backboard.
