Leroy Murphy - ChrissandaMutti.
It was a title defense for Murphy. Probably on youtube.

Collins, Leroy was quite the banger wasnt he?
I trained at the fuller Park Gym in Chicago with him.
Leroy was a great amateur, many times Chicago Golden Glove champ and National Champ.
He was slated to go to the Olympics in 80. But, The US boycoted it .The Moscow games.
I often wonder how things would have panned out for him had he fought in those games.
Maybe brought home a medal and then turned pro. I have to believe he was hugely dissapointed not having the oppurtunity and I think his pro career may have taken off even more.
I never really got to know him , just how ya doin? at the gym and small talk. Leroy used to put on a helluva lot of weight between fights though. Used to have to work his as. off to get back to cruiser.
