The loser was strung out on heroin but the timekeeper was more messed up.

It was in the States around the time Ecklund was fighting.

Tyson dropped Berbick 3 times with one shot!
Do you mean a fella was dropped for 10, the ref stuffed up and allowed it to continue only for the same to happen again?

Almost exactly that, except the timekeeper stuffed up and the fight continued. The downed fighter has a brother who, it is claimed, knocked out Tommy Hearns in sparring.

The tale of two fights. The fight was waved off in the 11th round, Lopez and his team in the ring celebrating victory, then it was like Dempsey-Willard all over again and Ayala was eventually knocked out again in the 15th.

He admitted years later he had fought on heroin, which you don't know whether to believe or not. The fight certainly ruined him (and probably the timekeeper, who was blamed for the 11th round disaster).

Going back even further, who was the first Olympian from the 1976 US boxing dream team (the Spinks brothers, Leonard, etc) to win a world title?

Wild guess but was it Randolph at featherweight?

Deno1986 · Post by **Deno1986** » 22 Jan 2010, 09:36

Or Howard Davis? Is this a trick question, i have a feeling it is none of the bigger names.

You could be right, he defeated Ali early enough in his career.

Wasn't it Leo Randolph

Old bones Ian · Post by **Old bones Ian** » 22 Jan 2010, 10:58

I'm trying to resist looking the team up as well, i can't remember the bantamweight from the games, think he did win a medal, but not gold.

you might be right about Randolph, 1980 does sounds about right for his world title win
