Details

Mustafa Hamsho (Arabic: مصطفى حمشو‎; born 10 October 1953) is a retired Syrian boxer who never won a world title but fought some big names in his career. Though he was not a winner in all of those fights, he did some things to make every one of his fights interesting and controversial in some regard. The Syrian Slugger racked up a winning record in the late 1970s defeated Wilford Scypion on June 15th, 1980 and former world middleweight champion Alan Minter on June 6th,1981 to get a shot at then-champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler in October of that year, but showed no respect for the champion during their matchup - or at least for the time it lasted.
Hagler methodically used right jabs and right hooks to bust up Hamsho's face (which needed 55 stitches) until the fight was stopped in the 11th. (The fight was not actually stopped on cuts; Hamsho's corner stopped the fight due to a Hagler barrage in the 11th.) Sports Illustrated commended Hamsho, calling him courageous for his effort on that fight.
