Fights You Havent Saw?

Great fight. Olivares fought a brilliant fight until getting caught late.

 

It's worth the time to track down those Ahumada fights. That guy was really a lot to handle in that 73-76 timeframe but really hasn't stood the test of time too well. I always liked the work Gil Clancy did back then with Ahumada and Valdez back then and nobody was in for an easy nights work signing to fight those guys.

 

Nor are the other two. That was the jokeatsch

 

Mcguigan v Taylor was a very good study of how great Barry was technically, he was outstanding.. he cut the ring off and overwealmed Bernard. Frazier v Ali 2 was the fight that never got the hype the 1st and 3rd did, but it was still very action packed.

Barry was a solid champ and never avoided anyone, Azumah Nelson was going to be down the line but for some reason both fighters had a lot of hard fights going on simultaneously... Eventually after Barry beat Laporte and Cabrera , cruz came along and outlasted Mcuighan in the desert heat...........

 

Thanks for the insight Bigcat. I'd seen Pedroza - Taylor and expected Taylor to give McGuigan a lot of trouble. His abillity to cut off the ring against Taylor must have been superb and that's exactly why I want to see it. Barry was very good during his relatively short prime.

 

I didn't know Clancy worked with Ahumada. Another reason to investigate further.

 

was at the fight at the back of the Kings hall when mcGuigan hit taylor with a body shot in the 7th i think, and i swear i almost felt it myself. It completely knocked the fight outta Taylor,who was giving barry a bit of a lesson at the time. Funnily enough, im pretty sure Taylor said the heat was a big factor

 

I hve highlights of the Montanan fight that RB gave me
