    He beats loughran by unanimous Dec
    Foster kos him round 10.
    Conn out point s him till round 14 where Langford catches him with a cracking right that ko's him.
    Spinks out points him in a classic.
    Archie Moore gets dropped twice in the first and second round s but comes back to pole axe Langford In the 3 Rd.

    Good match ups mcvey.

    I think Sam:
    Ko's Foster.
    Ko's Moore.
    Ko's Spinks.
    Is outpointed by Conn and Loughran, Sam was susceptible to the jab and both of them had excellent ones, but if he connects------
