Stevenson has a substance abuse -alcohol- problem. Years ago he firebombed the house of a police captain in Cuba, in a dispute over a romantic liason. He was not shot by firing squad because he's one of Fidel's favorites. In the US he is persona-non-grata, as he violated bond on an arrest for punching out a skycap during a tour a couple of years ago.

I heard it was a head butt.

Might have been. Either way it was assault and battery and he skipped out on the bond.

Hello,

You can see some information about the amateur boxing record of Teofilo Stevenson at http://www.geocities.com/pedrinet/stevenson.html

I make a hard investigation for build this site.

Also i have a lot of information about the records of Felix Savon and his succesor, Odlanier Solis, current heavyweight world amateur champion, at http://www.geocities.com/pedrinet/index.html.

Enjoy it.

Nice work, Pedro - thanks for the links. On a related note, I saw this interesting letter in the most-recent mailbag of RingTalk's Pedro Fernandez:

Pedro,

You mentioned the great Cuban AMATEUR champion, Teofilo Stevenson, in your "Monday Edition." A little-known fact about Teofilo--which would come as a great shock to the folks who regard him as a great fighter--is that he was KO?d TWICE by a stubby, little-known Russian heavyweight named Igor Vysotsky. (As Casey Stengel said, "You could look it up!") So why didn't Vysotsky, a Jerry Quarry look-alike, make more of a splash in international competition? Well, it was because he CAUGHT too many shots, and his face and his eyes were usually all puffed up after just one or two bouts in a tournament such as the Olympic Games. And, of course, he never turned pro. But as a one-shot puncher, he was probably the equal of Earnie Shavers...

B. O?Neill

Pedro (Cabrera)'s record only lists one KO loss to Vysotsky - the other loss is listed simply as an L3. Can anyone here confirm whether Stevenson was in fact KOed twice by Vysotksy?

enrique · Post by **enrique** » 24 Oct 2003, 16:58

It is my understanding that they fought six times. Stevenson won four on points and Igor won two, one of them by KO or TKO.

Pedro,

GREAT site. I look forward to the addition of Angel Herrera, Hector Vinent, Roberto Balado, Jorge Luis Gonzalez, Ariel Hernandez, Juan Hernandez, etc. etc.

Did Stevenson fight Mitch Green?

I am pretty sure he didn't

Nile4000 · Post by **Nile4000** » 21 Sep 2005, 15:11

Are there any tapes of Stevenson fighting Angel Milian, where he was floored twice?

Don't forget that he lost to American Craig Payne.

True but Payne was a talented fighter if not the most dedicated and Stevenson was on the slide by then. But still a great result for Payne.

Hey KoJo, when Windmill says he beat pros, he meant "future" pros correct? At the time he beat them they were also amateurs? or no?

locoxelbox · Post by **locoxelbox** » 03 Nov 2005, 23:40

Yes, he meant future pros. Amateurs are not allowed to box professionals.

Yes mate he beat amateur like Biggs and Dokes who later went on to become professional fighters.

Not sure that gives you the real bragging rights to have those names on your hit list before turning pro. I'm not taking anything from Stevenson as he would have probably been a top ten name but I don't think he would have been top dog.

I know what you are saying. Stevenson was a great fighter under his own code but there is the argument that when he fought a lot of the other top amateur eg Biggs, Page & Dokes etc it was a case of man against boy.

locoxelbox · Post by **locoxelbox** » 05 Nov 2005, 15:40

But Stevenson was only 20 when he won his first olympic gold. It's not like he became good when he was 25, taking advantage fighting less experienced boxers. Many people dismiss the cuban fighters but they forget that at junior level the cubans dominate even more than at senior level.

Nile4000 · Post by **Nile4000** » 06 Nov 2005, 14:53

Would anyone have given James Broad a chance to beat Stevenson had they fought in 1980?

Stevenson beat Milian the four times they fought but apparently most were evenly contested fights.

Was Teo's fight with Marvin Stinson also close?

Venceremos · Post by **Venceremos** » 12 Jan 2006, 09:48

Stevenson fought against Stinson having an injury in a leg, maybe for that reason that the fight reached the limit.
