Although Spinks beat Ali in a split decision in the first fight on Feb, 15 1978, the second fight 7 months later was a different outcome. Spinks lost the title to Ali in New Orleans at the Louisiana Superdome on September 15, 1978 by a unanimous 15-round decision. This time it was Spinks who did not train hard enough. Ali, despite his declining skills, gave every ounce of himself in this fight and did everything he could to out-smart and out-box the much younger Spinks. By regaining the title, Ali became the first three-time heavyweight champion. Spinks continued to come into fights out of shape and was never as effective as he was in the first Ali fight. Above is one of my favorite vintage tees that I have in stock and it also comes with the original beer mug which features the same graphic on the front!!! Unfortunately the tee is a sz Medium and way to small for me to wear but its a great collectible piece and would look amazing frame!!
