When Tyson fought Spinks......

[Master]

I remember this fight and I am sure it was on the weekend but it is listed on a Monday how is that possible?

Spinks did an awesome job on destroying Cooney and he gave Holmes trouble but he shit his pants against Tyson.

Cooney was damaged goods after the Holmes fight, mentally he just wasn't the same. He got so hyped up and then dropped so low...the kid gave a valiant effort vs a great champ.

Holmes was a boxer first and not the biggest puncher in the world so I am certain Spinks felt he had time to win rounds and Holmes would allow him to box.

Tyson was a different animal. Tyson was compact, quick, explosive, and put his foot on the gas from the first bell. Spinks' fight or flight system was in full flight that night...the fight was lost in the introductions if not on the scales.
