Career Highlights:
A lightweight from Detroit, Buck began his professional career in 1993 and won both his fights that year, knocking out Robert Turner in the first round and winning a four-round decision over Bob Rishea. The following year, Buck fought five times, winning four -- all by technical knockout in the first or second round. A very popular fighter in the state of Michigan (where he fights most of his bouts), Buck continued to fight well in the mid-1990s with victories over Levi Gray and Darren Crockett in 1995, Damien Duquestrada in 1996, and Chico Crout in 1998.

After fighting only once in 1999 (he lost on a TKO in the first round to Pasqual Rouse), Buck fought twice in 2000, including a December 1 bout in Las Vegas against Calvin Davis (Scott lost an eight-round decision). Buck's first fight in 2001 was against fellow Detroit native Bernard Harris, the former NBA featherweight champion. Their April 10 bout in Warren, Michigan went the distance, and Buck lost a split decision. As of September 2002, Buck has fought 26 times and won 13 bouts.
