Flying kung fu kick from Larry Holmes? I know, shocking wasn't it?

Wasn't this something to do with (allegedly) Holmes having an affair with Berbick's wife? Could be wrong, obviously.

Yeah, I remember reading about his murder. Murdered by his nephew over property, money disputes. Sad.

Big Frank could have out boxed him with his thudding jab and powerful right but Berbick was rugged. Could have been another 'Bonecrusher' scenario, however.
I have a feeling it was something to do with berbick making a comment about Holmes's wife,again I could be wrong too

Not sure what the ins and outs of it were (pun intended), Berbick seemed a bit of a fruitcake, as were most of the 1980's heavies.
I do think Golota did his best to make sure the 90s HWs were also looked at as totally bonkers...
