Professional career

edit

He KOd an inexperienced Iran Barkley, outpointed Doug DeWitt and rose to prominence as a middleweight contender by a very polemical defeating Roberto Durán in 1986. Sims lost to Sumbu Kalambay in a shot for the WBA title in 1988 and it was all downhill from there. All his losses were on points except a KO7 vs Nigel Benn.

Sims was trained by famous Brockton based trainers Pat and Goody Petronelli. He had a career record of 38-10-2 with 26 knockouts.
