Earliest Boxing memory

[miron_lang]

I do vaguely remember Holmes v Cooney.

I was cheering for Cooney because Holmes beat Ali and Ali was my hero..


I was disappointed to see Holmes easily handled the "Great white Hope"


I also did not enjoy Larry Holmes perfect right hook that Kayoed Alfredo Evangelista.

Ray Leonard vs Roberto Duran. I was so young that when I went to the boxing gym, I would tell everybody i was ROBERTO THE RAM. I thought the older guys were saying Roberto The Ram instead of Roberto Duran. ALI vs Spinx on a little 12 inch black and white TV also. on CBS
