Seeing as Conteh liked a night out and had done throughout the 1970s it’s incredible that he was still world class.

I was at this fight and it was an amazing spectacle to witness for a young 18 year old boy... I'll never forget it. As I remember it, the action from 11 rows back seemed so very much faster than it looks here.

I was there, too. Drive down from NYC with a couple of friends. You are right. Fights often look different when you seem them live and then again on tape.

I give it to Conteh especially if they are using an illegal substance on the eye of Saad

An absolute disgrace even UK judge Harry Gibbs gave it to Muhammad

Atleast Saad won the rematch,1-1 rivalry

These two were not calling the fight live and they still screwed it up. In 1977 Saad fought Marvin Johnson for the NABF title and won it in a 12 round KO; in 1979 he fought Johnson again, this time for Johnson's WBC title which Saad won in 8 rounds. How they could confuse these two fights when they are watching a tape is beyond me.

Am I wrong or does Conteh move like Michael Spinks a bit?

@leesandford4403 3 жыл бұрын

Ye he does move like spinks! Was spinks a southpaw? Spinks was awkward as hell

@theparalexview785 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I can see that. Similar upright style and excellent jab. But Conteh didn't have the Spinks Jinx right hand power. Conteh was less awkward, more of a classic European style upright fist-fencer.

Robbed But was a great fight Fair play to Mohamed he battled through adversity and finished strong Still think conte did enough but judges do like to see who finishes stronger

Remember watching this live on TV. Conteh had a hand injury- didn't throw a meaningful right in the entire fight.
