I was at that fight at the Las Vegas Hilton. Was one of the many fights my father and I attended. On the undercard was a heavyweight but the name of James “Buster” Douglas who would get stopped by Tony “TNT” Tucker.

As noted...hell of a footnote to the show.

Pinklon Thomas was a good fighter.

He just happened to come along at the wrong time.

Pinklon Thomas was not joke.

Pinklon Thomas was one of the few boxers who was a fire test and cause some problems to Mike Tyson. One of the best fight of Mike Tyson career.

Very talented and a natural athlete. The Thomas who beat Witherspoon vs Larry Holmes would have been very interesting imho.
