  • Best named punch" Spinks Jinx" . Second "anywhere punch" George Foremans. "anywhere I hit you it's gonna hurt" gotta love them

  • A brilliant fight by Spinks.The thing about the Cuban fighters is if you attack them they're ineffective. A style like Spinks or Ray Mancini will beat the best Cuba has. At about 8:07 was the line by Cossel..." The Cuban is coming back". No way, Spinks was'nt hurt, look at the short chopping right he caught Soria at 8:21 and the monster Cuban is once a gain on his bicycle. From the begining to end this was a total butt whuppin............@ 9:10 !!

  • @allout1034 love to see the whole card called by cosell on that saturday night in 1976!!

  • @usmctanks1

    Got to give the Cuban credit for heart though he gave all he had. He shouldn't have been too over confident Spinks beat the Russian light heavy in his first fight in that Olympics.

  • The Cuban fighters won so easily in many of their fights by KO that they were really not hit very hard. The USA fighters hit them really hard and most of them couldn't take it.

  • i got this fight also with Howard Cosell calling the shots...

  • @bigdatut, you are correct, sir, and that means I stand corrected! Good fighter, nonetheless! And that would be the Slobodan Kacar who disappeared from the pro ranks after losing by kayo twice, the first time to Bobby Czyz.

  • @DannyA123 No he didn't. In 1980 it was Slobodan Kacar from Yugoslavia. You're thinking of the World Games, where Sixto did win the gold in 1980.

  • you can see Sixto looking around like "who the Hell is this guy"?? And I remember that None of the "experts" picked Spinks (Leon) to win up against the more "polished" fighters from Cuba.. You just don't often see someone RUN across a ring to knock them out!!

  • Thanx for posting!
