they had reg gutteridge and harry carpenter looking back at good fights in britain today and tomorrow
Crap. Same stuff we've seen a thousand times. They showed Ali-Blin the other night. That was thrilling. :blood
But come on, ESPN can produce great stuff, like just a week or so ago when they showed Liston-Patterson rematch with all the build-up, ring introductions (Rocky, Sugar Ray) and Clay being introduced, shaking Floyd's hand then seeing Liston and running away in mock-horror . Then it had all the post-fight interviews.
Most of it was the same stuff. Ali-Foreman, Ali-Frazier III, Holyfield-Cooper, Duran-Buchanan, etc. The only one they showed that they rarely do was Ali-Chuvalo I.
on monday in britain there showing arguello vs olivares then the next few days they have afew 30 min shows of fighters including lamotta but i forgot the rest
Same old same old, these guys are setting on a goldmine, and they just recycle the same stuff over and over again. Mostly Ali and Tyson gets the spot light. Thown in Louis and Marciano once in a while. Same goes with Robinson. Duran and others are lucky to get aired once or 2 times a year. And forget about the middleweight to lower weight guys for ever. Yep no Joe Gans, no Micky Walker. They have all these rare gems, but they just show Ali over and over again.
Exactly, ESPN Classic stated they have access to a huge archive of great fights. But they show the same one's over and over again...Instead of Ward-Augustus again, how about Holmes-Norton? Or have the fans vote online for thier favorite's?atsch
