Leon Spinks died the other day. So to honor his memory, let’s watch the first Spinks-Ali fight from 1978, when Spinks pulled off the incredible upset. It was really the only highlight of his professional career, though he had won gold in Montreal in 76. Meanwhile, it signaled the beginning of the end of Ali, who of course stayed in the ring far too long.

I imagine several of you watched this fight live.
