Doyle never regained consciousness and subsequently died from the punch and damage sustained in the bout sadly doyle died 17 hours later.Prior too the fight Sugar Ray Robinson had a dream he killed Doyle in the fight, Robinson immediately tried to cancel the fight, but his manager with the help of a preist and minister convinced Robinson to go ahead with the fight.Robinson set up a $50 per month trust over 10 years (about $6000) for Doyle’s parents. The money came from non-title fights against “Flashy” Sebastian and Jackie Wilson that year. That sum would total about $65,500 odd dollars today.
