Renaldo Snipes The recycled heavyweight

For six rounds on October 2nd, the sentence could have been spoken by Renaldo Snipes. Because for six rounds, the Yonkers, New York, heavyweight did not run. Waging inside warfare with Trevor Berbick, Snipes freed himself from a 17 month stream of shuffling, jabbing mediocrity. Sure, Snipes had outpointed Eddie Mustafa Muhammad and shook WBC champion Larry Holmes with the right hand shot heard round the boxing world. Yet despite showing courage in the 11th round loss to Holmes, Snipes recorded a subsequent draw against Scott Frank and a decision loss to Tim Witherspoon.
