Spinks Knocks Out Gerry Cooney In Atlantic City Bout
Michael Spinks stopped Gerry Cooney at 2:51 of the fifth round after two knockdowns in a scheduled 15 round heavyweight bout. The victory, Spinks 31st win and 21st KO, moves him toward a likely money match with Tyson in 1988 while Cooney’s career appears wounded after a second career defeat in a major bout. Tyson sat ringside as Spinks overwhelmed Cooney with a barrage of punches beginning in the fifth. Cooney had shown inactivity and struggled to answer Spinks early jabs and hooks.
