    I'm watching Tyson touring the Boxing Hall of Fame building. He just said "There is film of Gavilan vs Robinson in Cuba, but they won't let it out."

    Does anyone have any info on this?!

    I believe their is plenty to discover in Cuba. Hopefully once relations resume with the US they will be found and made available to the public.

    Would be incredible seeing that fight. I'd quite like to see his stoppage of Zivic as well.

    Is there anything that makes you think it could be true? something youve heard from someone you trust on these types of things or found yourself

    Hard to believe in this era of world wide web , cell phones as video cameras devices etc. If film of that fight existed and was anywhere in this world, it wouldn't have hit the internet by now. Even in a country like Cuba.
