  • Where, oh, where is the entire fight! This was a great fight.

  • This was one hell of a fight, I know it was amateur, but it was non stop action. A bit like Foreman vs Lyle. Just back and forth.

  • @TheTzdope, thanks...yes, I found those fights. The Spinks brothers finals are split between two videos. GREAT STUFF. Watching Leon's final in 1976 really stirred me as an American...there was something about Leon's lack of finesse but never-say-die attitude that really struck a chord.

  • @DannyA123 try to watch the usa boxing teams final from 1976 games in montreal!

    classic cosell on that saturday night!!

  • The Cuban fighters, for all their greatness. It was limited to amateur. Sure they did register KO's with Andres Aldama and certainly Stevenson, but when it came time to mix it up. They were'nt up tto the task. Look at Soria right here. He had Spinks in the ropes , backs up and promptly gets tagged.

  • @NEVERWRONG1957 What?

  • i got this whole fight but i dont know how to put it up on youtube....maybe somebody can guide me on how to upload this...with the great HOWARD COSELL broadcasting it..

  • Howard cosell being the true Anti American he was couldnt call the fight as it haapened because he was to buzy willing the Communists to win.

  • It was the "Coupe DeVille"

  • Great memory, the way Leon came off the ropes in a trot and tagged Soria.

    Wonderful stuff. Thanks for posting.

    Never
