What the Spinks fight?

Man I'm even more confused now
Holmes was undefeated and needed 1 more win to either tie, or break Marciano's undefeated heavyweight record. Before he fought Spinks to get the record, he told the media that Marciano couldn't hold his jock strap. Therefore, that's why he was believed to be cursed, and lost the fight. I think he just flat-out lost, but I think he won the rematch and the judges robbed him.
that's weird, i was pretty sure he said that comment after he lost to spinks out of frustration with the judges.
Could be wrong though
I'm not sure, I think you are right, but that wouldn't make sense according to the start of the thread, would it? All I know is he lost, and deserved to, but he won the second fight with Spinks, and because of his image, I think they robbed him. If you find out for sure, let me know because now I'm getting confused.
