Pinklon Thomas became a very good heavyweight and a good champion. He was a game fighter with a champions heart.♥️ Great jab, a Hard! Jab. Shame Holmes never fought him battle of the jabs plus be a great battle of wills too. Holmes would win in the end though but they recon Holmes did infact avoid him.🥊
Americans n Mexicans are the best boxers, they follow the rules n are exciting. Australians, Eastern Europeans, South Africans n, to some extent, British boxers, don't follow the rules; they just hit n clinch. They're boring.
To be honest,i know why Andries wasnt getting real media attention.Although he won the world title he struggled and this fight was a bit scrappy.I missed this fight when it first took place and cant say i was disappointed missing it.He reallly improved when he went to the kronk gym in USA
This was IMO British Boxing's golden age - we had great fighters at world level and we had seven world champions at one time plus many others earning title shots. Colin showed true heart, and it meant a lot for Britsh fighters to win on American soil - even better winning a world title!!
Cooper was no winger. London didn't cut as easily as Cooper, and he had a more durable chin. But when you said that you said it all. London didn't have a punch in the same league as Coopers left hook. Cooper was knocked out by a peak Johansson, not this washed up has been in his last fight. In their first fight Cooper stopped London in 1 round. And if you're gonna make comparisons, lets compare how they both did against Muhammed Ali, where Cooper did incomparably better in both their fights than London's 3 round effort.
Оба боксера на пике карьеры, интересный бой.
buck smith's style in this one got me rolling,he's the wildest boxers i've seen.
Infact Cortex is a fighter
I notice the prelude omitts his bout with Jeff Harding.......maybe on purpose?
Leon never came to fight

О, это Багамы
Fenech was getting his butt kicked & he found a reason to quit!
Referee & femech stole this fight! Zarate me was beating in fenech doen!
Bruno got flattened that night too by bonecrusher smith
On the Ali/Berbick undercard.
Yup Ledoux and Page the co-main if I recall
Singletary is tough. Hearns just coming of age
Zomzom
it wasnt Lukasas night. Apparently after the fight he went for a walk outside the arena and got mugged!

Gonzalez had a lot of talent. Nice jab, big right uppercut. Just didn't have it mentally for the pro's I guess.
40:41 still don't know what dude was woofin for.. like calm down 🤣 ya fighter just got stopped you think you can do better?
See the elbows?
Amateur refs in the 70'd and 80's were straight 🗑
2:36
Weaver vs Snipes would have been a good fight.
Renaldo Snipes knocked out Duplooy also.
Did Duplooy beat anyone in his prime???
One thing about Mike Weaver,he fought everyone.!!!!
Well,for the most part,he didn't fight Page,Tubbs, Bruno or Cooney,but Cooney didn't fight that often.
El boxeo se convirtio en mafia
Henry Cooper el mejor peso pesado europeo de todos los tiempos
I doubt we'll ever see their kind again.
Even George Foreman said he was a no brutal puncher.If big George says that you hit hard then you hit hard.
That no shouldn't have been in there,Ali said Shavers was the strongest person he ever fought.
Look at shavers victims,Ken Norton, Jimmy Young,3rd ko and a draw Jimmy Ellis.
How in God's name did Shavers lose to Ron Stander?????
None of those guys hit like shavers,and he was in the golden age of heavy weights.
Bobick had No chin.
They're only two white heavy weights who could fight,from that era Quarry and Cooney.Quarry was too small and Cooney was mismanaged.

Tienes la pelea Entre Leon Spinks y Orestes Pedrosa en México 1975
Siibson overcomes height advantage by swarming inside to land punches on Davison!he also cuts the ring off too!
Brilliant video brings back loads of great memories from what I would consider a golden age of boxing!
The ref was so nervous he barely knew what was going on.
All those rabbit punches...
Both very Tough fighters..And i can confidently say they would have bashed up many of todays fighters Technique & toughness are not based on Weight!

Thomas Hearns fighting at 47 years old after all that war is amazing
Notice how dear old Brian, honest as they come, put up a better show against both Johansson and Patterson than the whinger Cooper.

What did the cut-man following Jeff's Coach say we hitch infuriated you to come down after you were lifted
Marvis way more advanced then dad
I met Shingaki a couple of days before this match. He gave me a lovely Jewlery box. He was so lovely
Este urtain tenía una fuerza tremenda
RIP Ingo: your "hammer" would have dropped ANY heavyweight if it connected fully.
Barry is an awesome guy. Kind and gentle. Still gets in the ring and moves around with his fighters sometimes!
What drug was Lederman on that night, I'll never fathom. He gave Mercer rounds 4 and 10 ??
