March 8, 1980
Greg Page took his record to 8-0 with his 8th straight KO against Sandman Parker (26-8-1).
Leon Spinks continued the spiral down hill as he fought to a draw against against Eddie Lopez.
Bernardo Mercado won by TKO against Ernie Shavers in a great 7 round battle.
I always thought this would be an interesting daily thread. Nothing too spectacular for March 8th, but a solid night of fights in 1980 to be sure.

March 10th was the epic brawl with Hagler & Mugabi.
