@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.

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.

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.

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.
