I had a lot of respect for Renaldo Snipes. He wasn't a good technical fighter, and he get sloppy at times, but BOY, Snipes had a heart of a lion.

Was Snipes a converted southpaw? I wonder about this whenever I see him fight. That foot movement and the side angle of his left jab makes me think so. (Also, the right cross being thrown forward like it was a jab.)

Mr. Snipes definitely had Larry Holmes in trouble but didn't know how to finish the fight. Larry hemed Snipes up in a corner and I think they stopped the fight pre-maturely, a mistake on Snipes part being a young fighter. They looked past Snipes and were trying to set up the Cooney/Holmes fight. If Snipes had been patient and went to Holmes body a few times before trying to land the ko blow. But the stoppage of the fight was controversial if not premature.

Tyrell Biggs won close fights as an amateur right up to the 1984 Olympic Gold Metal & was very lucky with the Soviet/Cuban Olympic Boycott. Then, he signed with Lou Duva's team, which had a reputation of matching their fighters rather tough for the big paydays. If the fighter had the talent, great; If he didn't,...oh, well! A much slower & more developmental fight schedule away from all the limelight would've served Biggs better. Biggs may have never been champ, but he could've been a more complete fighter like Tony Tucker or Chris Byrd.

@@aarondigby5054 I tend to agree with you. I re-watched that entire Holmes - Williams fight about a year ago (for the first time since I was a kid). I believe I scored the fight for Williams by a point or two. He kind of let Holmes of the hook in the latter rounds and that certainly cost him the fight. It is very hard for a young fighter to beat an experienced champ by a close decision.

@aaronbst 2 ай бұрын

Very strange fight to score. Snipes was effective most of the time with big shots mixed into his ring generalmanship. But Biggs out worked him in some spurts. I can see this as a draw, but not a clear cut Biggs win. Of note: Snipes got knocked down right after he missed three big swings. He likely had some heavy burn in his arms that led him to getting caught. Also, it’s interesting to see Biggs set his feet firmly when punching. Later in his career he tended to punch while leaning back, which did him no favors.

When Snipes had Holmes in trouble he didn't know how to finish him, he just started running over there and trying to unload on Holmes and Holmes was good at recovering when he got in trouble, Snipes should've made Holmes fight and set up the ko punch. Later in the fight Holmes backed Snipes into a corner and wouldn't let him out and the ref stopped the fight because he felt Snipes wasn't defending himself. I thought it was pre-maturely stopped. Snipes was even given a mandatory standing eight count. Snipes was robbed.

I remember the write up in Sports Illustrated hailing the young Mr. Biggs. We all know how Tyson destroyed him from body punches. I have to say that during my generation so many boxers were washed up early in their career because they imitated Muhammad Ali. And there was only one Ali in the heavyweight fighting division at the time when the average boxer fought flat footed and just stood toe to toe and slugged it out. Taking a page from Sugar Ray Robinson and having a healthy respect for the fighters in his era, Ali was able to save the fight game. But because boxing is and will always be a gambling profession, there will always be some corruption, irregardless of how clean cut the boxer is or appears.
