IOCS mdefeated! Wiilheirspooiri decisions SnI By BILL VERIGAN tarily, and that amounted to the difference. Until then the fight had shifted from one man to the other. They fought in spurts; first then Snipes would move ahead. Snipes chose to fight on his toes. He was in reverse at full throttle for he early rounds, tossing out jabs as he backed around the ring.

THE FIGHT was so close that both fighters were justified in strutting around the ring with their arms raised when it ended.

Neither could be sure until the scoring was announced. Chuck Minkers score was the first one announced, and he had the bout a 95-95 draw. But the next two scores both gave it to Witherspoon.

In the end, Witherspoon won because he had slightly more left He came out with a flurry at the start of the 10th round that unhinged Snipes' knees momen Las Vegas Seven months ago, young Renaldo Snipes of Yonkers was only two seconds away from knocking out WBC heavyweight champion Larry Holmes and winding up as a replacement against Gerry Cooney in this week's boxing extravaganza at Caesars Palace. However, ever since Holmes managed to climb off the canvas, the 25-year-old Snipes' fortunes have been declining. Holmes went on to stop Snipes that night Then Snipes got stabbed by his own cornerman with a pair of scissors.
