Leo "The Lion" Sporino

Leo “The Lion” Sporino was the son of Pete Sporino, a boxer who hoped that Rocky Balboa’s eventual trainer, Mickey Goldmill would take an interest in. Leo would become ranked #4 in the word and would take on Apollo Creed’s progeny in a losing effort, but this is one of the better non-featured boxers in the Rocky franchise.

In the Richard Linklater (eventual classic), “Everybody Wants Some!!”, Ryan Guzman played one of the head horndogs, Kenny Roper, on the Southeast Texas University team. Does his libido make him a contender here? He is a college guy, so of course he is supposed to have a strong sex drive, but that hardly makes him a strong contender.
