Attacked by three men ouside his hotel, Cobb fought back and kept on fighting. He and chased one of the into an alley. The attacker didn't survive. Cobb played the next day.

That's self-defense.>

Cobb killed a Black man in a vicious attack. Most historians believe the "attacker and two other" story to be apocryphal. Cobb's attitude toward African Americans is well known to all.
Second of all, even if your story were true, that is NOT self-defense. If an individual has the opportunity to retreat and withdraw but chooses not to do so, he loses any affirmative defense of self defense. By chasing the man and pursuing him, the self defense protection goes out the window. If someone came in to your business and hit you with his fist, then jumped in the elevator and fled and you pursued him, knocked him down and stabbed him to death, that is not self defense.
