The Year Of Living Dangerously: Alan Minter In 1980 Part II
"From the start, Antuofermo—heavily mustached, unshaven for days, barrel-chested, a smaller Rocky Marciano—threw wild punches and charged in low. Which was absolutely no surprise. And Minter did not retreat. He stood up, crashing rights into a face that Antuofermo seemed uninterested in protecting. Then Minter would follow the jabs with left crosses. Authoritative and aggressive, Minter guided those jabs with cold eyes. In 51 fights Antuofermo had been stopped only twice, but just before the end of Round 1 one of Minter’s combinations cut him over the nose, a little toward the right eyebrow. Already Antuofermo was in trouble." – Clive Gammon, Sports Illustrated Read more from The Living Daylights
