He sure did a number on DeLeon in that first fight. His Cooney fight looked like a tank job.

A bit weird that bout with Cooney. Deleon tried to slug and got walloped by Gordon although you can certainly see the difference in some with someone like Carlos with boxing skills and a rough street slugger like ST

Another little anecdote with Gordon in the gym with one Marvin Gaye, the famous singer -

Marvin Gaye strode purposefully into the 108th Street Gym in Los Angeles many years ago. The late singer boasted to all that he had boxed, and it wasn't so difficult. He wanted to box again.

So Walt Tyler, a boxing trainer, obliged, quickly arranging a sparring match between Gaye and S. T. Gordon, a talented, professional, 190-pound cruiserweight. Gaye, his entourage of bodyguards and friends watching, pounded his gloves together in the corner.

The bell rang.

Gordon, who didn't much care if the man staring at him from across the ring was Marvin Gaye or then-middleweight champion Marvin Hagler, took three long steps across the mat and threw one punch. It landed flush on Gaye's chin, and the singer fell like a chain-sawed tree.

He was unconscious for about 30 seconds, according to Tyler. Gaye finally got to his feet, Tyler recalled and, as he was being half-dragged out by his friends, he was engaged in a question-and-answer session with them. The topics included the singer's name and what city he was in.

"The man was out cold," Tyler said. "And S. T. Gordon is still in the ring, pacing around like a bull waiting for the next guy."
