Spinks's long-time girlfriend the mother of his daughter died in a car crash. Not too shortly after that, he was in the dressing room, and his daughter says to him "where's mom? Where's mom?".
Spinks cries, and then goes out and wins a wide decision over a great, prime, HOF fighter in Dwight Qawi.
Greatness.
It speaks well of Tyson's abilities and intimidiation factor that a guy who went through that, was the first LHW champ to win the HW championship since Fitz (didn't Fitz do it in opposite order?), beat the giant Gerry Cooney.....and then he turns into a shrinking violet against Tyson.
