Pinklon Thomas
v.
Trevor Berbick
God has a way of muscling heavyweights....
-Trevor Berbick
There was a rumor that Berbick had bet $25,000 on himself to win at $5.50 to the dollar...
"Let me correct that...I was very very seriously tempted to bet....But as a Christian soldier of the cross...I could not bet $25,000 even though I knew I would win. I say that because God has a way of muscling heavyweights and I didn't want that."(1)
-Trevor Berbick (Post-Fight Press Conference)
As it was Jamacian born self-proclaimed solider of the cross Trevor Berbick won a unanimous decision over heavily favored Pinklon Thomas for the W.B.C. Heavyweight Championship of the World. A title he would put on the line against a different type soldier later in that year. That soldier's had is own way of muscling heavyweights. His name Tyson.
