Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Recall that vividly. Top example of marketing on nothing more than glossy numbers high KO stats and an unknown who knew how to play a part massively. He became a punch line but Peter sold the hell out of that um fightOriginally Posted by Martin Hary
. Can't go without saying Lamar Murphy robbed on the undercard vs Gonzalez.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
An absolute closest classic this day back in 98' with Ivan Robinson vs Arturo Gatti in their first meeting. Some peripheral things too...THIS was how you built to big attractions and maintained network-sport consistency. You made a card a package deal with forward build. Undercard had young Fernando Vargas in co main and in his very next fight right back on HBO winning title. On the same card Gatti and Robinson rematched. Also had former champ Jose Luis Lopez, in his next fight fighting on Showtime for a title. And it all happened in the short brief span of 4 months! The sport was vibrant and churning it out! Oh and none of it was on ppv

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Day late on rewatch but remains amazing years later what Honeyghan pulled. Systematic short fast combinations and an engine that kept up. By the 2nd he was labeled "the balding man". But Gil Clancy knew what was happening from jump. Great flashback. Crazy to know 6 months inactive back then was flirting with major "ring rust".

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
That is the biggest upset for a British boxer to win a world title fight ever. Going to the USA facing an undefeated unified undisputed champion Honeyghan was given zero chance to win. The Ragamuffin man just ripped the script and destroyed the Cobra.
Honeyghan brought live boxing back to the BBC and millions mainstream viewers watched him defend his title. Great days.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
🥊 ON THIS DAY: Exactly 48 years ago, a fight was born that changed the world of boxing forever. So let’s go back in time to relive one of the most iconic moments in boxing history. Two implacable rivals, Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, faced off in a trilogy known in professional circles as the Thrilla in Manila.
🧐 See a story that reminds us how far human determination can go on the journey towards a legacy of immortality...

ON THIS DAY: 23 years ago, stoned Mike Tyson demolished Andrew Golota in such a way that he refused to enter the third round! In just two rounds, he gave him a fractured cheekbone, a neck injury and a concussion!
