Sugar Ray Robinson Welterweight fight Videos....

Just a highlight but check out the double uppercut left hook at about 35 seconds in the fight...A thing of pure beauty...actually it turns out the fight is not at WW for some reason Youtub said it was a WW fight and I posted without checking it out first...sorry mates...still a good video

Amazing....

Poetry in motion. LOL; love the way the ref helped him to his corner. Is that called a dragging 8 count? ;D

Wish there was full fights of Robinson at Welterweight, would love to see his fights at Welterweight.

Yeah, I could see Nady saluting him once he threw him on the stool. And Cortez would take a point for excessive holding :lolhaha:

He was something special, but those double, tripple left hooks would be easy to block. Its more his stiff jab counter left hook, and hidden right cross that you have to worry about ;D.. I would still be interested how he would do against a good jabber because Robinson didn't really use any defense except footwork.

Ha Ha Ha...Nady saluting him :army:.....

I don't know if its the quality of the film or what, but I don't think I've ever seen a fighter throw punches that quickly. That was impressive.

For those who have never seen 'Bright Lights, Dark Shadows' I'd strongly recommend you either look for it online and or buy it.
Great documentary. :)

That's the great thing about these doc. they showed the fighters and who they were outside the ring also.

They did have a six hour Sugar Ray Robinson tribute on ESPN a while ago.IT showed the entire fight's of Lamotta VI along with Fullmer,Basilio and Turpin fights.

That was when he was at his best and according to a recent documentary on the man, none were recorded. So this clip is rare, rare, rare. ;D
