Good find, I never watched the post fight interview after the 1st fight, but I did watch both of Holmes' losses to Spinks. An argument can be made that Spinks did indeed outwork Holmes and win the 1st fight, but I still thought Holmes did enough to keep his title. I thought Holmes won the 2nd fight fairly decisively.

I always thought Holmes shot himself in the foot with his comments about Marciano, and TBH, I think it had an influence on the way the judges scored the 2 fights with Spinks. Plus, the Italian mob was alive and well at the time.

Jim Gray and Chris Berman reporting for ESPN, look like fucking teenagers.
