F--- boxing

The announcer at 4:00 is something else.

"He is an astroner, he is seeing stars." "He is a marionette cut from his strings."

 

Are you going to watch Whitaker v Chavez? Biggest robbery I ever saw. Sweet Pea was awesome that night.

 

Yeah that's on the list along with Chavez - Taylor; I like to score those old fights too, so I will see if it's a big a travesty today as it was then. Whitaker was robbed against Jose Luis Ramirez too, that fight wasn't even remotely close. Epic post-fight explosion by Lou Duva after that one.

 

Eat Arby’s

 

The Hawk just had a dynamic chin and the ability to throw bombs with both hands. The movement, the aggression, the fearless nature of his style. Yeah Arguello was tremendous, but just not the right matchup.

And I'm one of the ones that believes Ray Leonard ducked Pryor at every turn.

 

There weren't a lot of great heavyweight fights in the 1980s. There was some great events like Holmes-Ali, Tyson-Spinks...hell any Tyson fight, but the battles were lacking. I thought Holmes won the second Spinks fight and probably the first, but I don't have any interest in watching either again.

Once you get to the 90s, there are some solid big-man scraps. And a second golden era of lightweights and middleweights. So much to choose from in the 90s through the first half of the 2000s.

 

I thought Spinks won the first fight and I had Holmes in a close decision in the rematch but I haven't watched either since they were first aired.

 

Michael Spinks’ eyes were as big as saucers when he left his corner to face Tyson. He lasted about 1:30, if I remember correctly.

 

1:31 to be exact
