Thanks for posting this, guys! I followed Minter's career when i was growing up in the 70's and 80's. He was a very good boxer with an excellent amateur pedigree.
Minter looks very poised and relaxed in the ring in this bout (only his 2nd pro contest). We know that Minter went on to win british, european and world titles, eventually losing his world championship to the great Marvin Hagler, but does anyone out there know what happened to the opponent in this contest,
