One of “The Jets” finest performances in the ring. Was able to showcase both tactical pressure and finesse while making that transition to heavyweight essentially in his prime.
I wanna smack lon mceachern also was lavell Robinson a former middleweight or something? He looks tiny compared to roufus and roufus was a former light heavyweight
I think Robinson was freely switching between light heavyweight and cruiserweight since at least the late 80s. He fought Don Nielsen around the turn of the decade, competed in at least one of the K-2 tournaments, and boxed as a cruiserweight the year before this match. Believe it, he's apparently a couple centimeters taller than Roufus.
Roufus fought at 150 at the beginning of his career and moved up in weight classes as he added muscle. He was a skinny kid who ran around the ring and evolved into a legit heavyweight assassin. I met him at a couple of events we both fought on in the mid to late 80s
