    Below is something I posted to another forum about one hour ago...

    Not to long ago I shared a YouTube link here in the classic forum which I'd just then came across of "HBO's Legendary Nights Documentary series," doing so because previous to that upload, all other rips of the series on YouTube were about 10+ yrs old, in 240p, and appeared to quite possibly have been recorded with a camera pointed at a TV. This newer version was in 480p and much easier to watch, but for the fact that the 12 episodes were all "stitched" together, creating a 4+ hr long video. as well as having a few other "cosmetic issues." So, recently i have been trying to teach myself how to edit video with the program Avidemux 2.7 and was then able to split the episodes correctly, as well as fix an issue the episode or Hagler vs Leonard. So, what should be somewhere below that which I am writing here and now, should be an episode embedded in this post, and i am sure that anyone wanting to watch any of these can take it from here...

    Thank you! Awesome to see these again. I actually messaged HBO and suggest they do more of these. Sucks they don't do boxing matches anymore but they still do great documentaries and have a hell of a lot of great fights. How a about a Jirov vs Toney legendary night's? Vasquez vs Marquez, Barrera vs Morolas.

    While it is nothing near a Legendary Nights episode, fairly recently, at some point between Gassiev KO of Dorticos, but previous to the WBSS Cruiser tourney concluding, HBO DID do a "look back" at Toney vs Jirov 15 yrs afterwards as a segment on "The Fight Game."

    Semi off topic, but, I cannot be the only one who thought Lampley just absolutely loved, completely relished every single opportunity he got to say, and boy dd that man say it A LOT " ...on MY SHOW, the fight game!"
    I mean, maybe I am wrong? Maybe I am just a bit whackadoo in the dome but, I always got the sense that "The Fight Game" was Lampley's own show and for whatever the reason, maybe it is just the humble man that he, the ONE, the ONLY, incomparable Jim Lampley is/was/always will be, he was always very vague about just who's show it was... ;);)
    PS: Methinks that all four Vasquez vs Marquez fights were on Showtime?
