Thanks very much for this I couldn't remember the fight ,though looking through my programmes I see I was there.
Much better response than the Brit forum. :thumbsup Just had to bump it for 'em the ungrateful *******s!
:goodfinnegan was a star.a fighter with a huge heart and rock hard chin.hagler and minter certainly thought so
The Minter fights are the best stuff to check out if you wanted to see him at his best i'd say.Second fight is an excelent technical fight. He looks a bit worn out in this fight to me, and Sibbo is raw, though it's still a nice "old pro teaches up and coming prospect some new tricks" kind of fight.
It was thought at the time that he was past his best and it was a bit of a surprise when he won. He then pulled off another shock beating Gratien Tonna in France for the European title. Minter won the world title a month later and Kevin begged him for a shot but it never came off.
Minter had to give Antoufermo a rematch instead. Americans found it a bit dubious when the British judge congratulated Minter in the ring after the first fight.
