[1984-04-26-Joint Promotions] Danny Collins vs Jim Breaks

[tcg91]

This was a great bout and Breaks worked his butt off, both in the ring and with his whiny character, looking like the best nemesis for the teenage sensation Collins. No matter what he did, Breaks just couldn't catch a break against the brave Collins and got extra whiny and aggressive, getting the crowd, the referee and even the announcer against him. Breaks finally started to gain some momentum with his usual armwork, Collins sold really well (especially when bleeding) and started punching back his rival, as his respect and good manners progressively faded during the match. Very strong bout, the finish was too flashy for me but it definitely made sense due to Collins' underdog nature
