    Cooney was a rising contender in 1979. Roy Williams had been around for a while but was still a respectable fringe contender who ended his career on a winning streak. Roy was a big guy at 6’5” and often tipping the scales at 230 plus. He was stopped only once and that was in the tenth round against shavers. I think this might be interesting.

    Cooney stops him on his feet mid rounds.
