Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Well this fight took place in 1992, but nah im just looking for all the closet classic fights i can find. I've been looking for this fight for over a year but still no luck, infact i can't find any of Kevin Kelley's most exciting fights with Alejandro Gonzalez, Derrick Gainer, ETC.
You sure you have not seen this Ice ??Saw you put it up in the past on your best viewed threads.Ohh who knows,too many to keep track of at times
I could bore you with a rbr,best I can manage.I knew I kept these crusty notebooks for some reason lol.This was an epic battle that deserves mention standing alongside ANY past fight in terms of greatness.It was missing a few key elements though that keeps it somewhat under the radar....the 'Name' factor at the time and they were in a lower weightclass,at a time when the Heavyweight division had huge teeth and some major leauge talent and in the same year as Holyfield vs. Bowe 1.Frankly.....in terms of sheer constant excitment and none stop shifts in momentum....I think it was a better action fight than that heavyweight battle.
Kelly was coming up fast out of New York and getting some needed national wide exposure on a major network,USA Tuesday night fights,Dorsey had been is some nice highly disputed fights all over the networks with Jorge Paez but was considered to be a bit passed it just lossing Title to Manuel Medina.Really a contrast in styles...Dorsey was very one deminsional,could not break an egg but was one of the toughest brawlers with a mullet that Texas had ever produced.Kelly was very sharp,fast talking,combination puncher & quick fisted star in the making.These fellows produced a sensational classic battle.
Lol I actually met Troy a couple of times; I'm good frieds with his uncle Gary over here in Mansfield, Tx. The whole family is tough![]()
I didnt know you were a texan Legion. I too knew Troy when I lived in Texas from 85 to 2001. I was a fixture in Dave Gorman's Super Pro gym,
The BMI gym and Curtis Cokes Home of Champions gym in Oak cliff.
I got to know all Dave's fighters Curry, Hatcher, Cruz , Dorsey etc plus watched the entire career s of Paulie Ayala. Ike The President Ibeabuchi , Kirk Johnson & Quincy Taylor among others. They were great days I really miss Texas plus Boxing lost one of its real good guys when cancer took Dave Gorman. I always said Ft Worth without a Gormans gym is like christmas without carols lol
Been looking for it for ages heard alot about it especially the 2000 punches that were thrown, i've also been looking for Kevin Kelley's classic wars with Alejandro Gonzalez, Derrick Gainer, aswell but no luck. Its like no one has got these fights, come on guys someone must have atleast one of these Kevin Kelley fights![]()
You the man thanks VD you don't know the struggle i've had, trying to find these fights. I know your fan of Kevin Kelley aswell, i also heard you liked his commentating ? i see him commentate on Winky Wright vs Bronco McKart 2, and he was awesome as a commentator. Its a shame he never got a job on one of the big networks.
Score it when you get it Ice.Little closer than I remember,frigging Kelly doing the Winky thing and dropping his hands in the 4th.Getting belted around bad to the ropes.Dorsey needs a chin strap for his huge head of hair.We need to get this one on the file board.unbelievable pace!
