Renaldo Snipes 215 lbs beat Eddie Mustafa Muhammad 202 lbs by SD in round 10 of 10

• Date: 1981-05-17
• Location: Ballys Park Place Hotel Casino, Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA
• Referee: Vincent Rainone 7-2
• Judge: Paul Cavalier 3-5
• Judge: William Kostrub 9-1

Referee Vinnie Rainone at 7-2-1 and Judge William Kostrub’s 9-1 for Snipes naturally was based on Renaldo doing all of the aggressive fighting, or, whatever of it took place. Long time Jersey official Paul Cavaliere, the other Judge, had his card announced at 5-3-2 for Muhammad! Following the bout Cavaliere was adamant that he had Snipes the winner, but Deputy Commission Robert Lee refused to change the card. Apparently Paul had the boxers mixed up while giving the rounds to Snipes, he marked them for Muhammad.
