When former heavyweight champion Leon Spinks got knocked flat in 33 seconds by Canadian Tony Morrison in Trumbull, Conn. Monday night, manager Marvin Haupt first tried to explain the defeat by saying, “He just got caught with a shot that would have knocked out Mike Tyson.”
However, Haupt hinted that, perhaps, Leon’s career is finished. “Leon’s got to decide what he wants to do,” Haupt said.
Spinks, 34, was knocked off his feet by Morrison, a last-second replacement, with a barrage of three punches after a right to the head had stunned the former champion. Spinks beat the count, but referee Matt Mullaney stopped the bout.
