Sims came into this bout with a 3-16-1 record with XX of those losses via KO. The bout as described by William F. McNeil in "The Rise of Mike Tyson, Heavyweight": "Sims, a 30-year-old club fighter with a 10-10 record, approached Tyson very cautiously and stayed out of harm's way for the first two rounds. At the beginning of round three, Mike trapped his man in the corner and delivered a series of crushing body shots. As soon as Sims dropped his hands to protect his ribs, Tyson caught him with a clean right hook and put him in Never-Never-Land for a full ten minutes." Sims wouldn't fight for almost two years after this loss and would finish his career with two more defeats in 1987, the final one a 2nd round KO loss to Earnie Shavers.
