    Yeah, well, after them low blows to Holmes' balls from Cooney you'd think Ol' Larry would've wanted Cooney gone right then and there, but the fight went on until round 13.... It was a damn good fight for 1982...

    "Duran-SRL 2" was a fluke scenario, but part # 3 just totally sucked the bone deep..... However, the hell has this to do with Holmes and Cooney?

    "Holmes-Cooney" was boring? I strongly disagree with that notion...... I love that title fight of the 80s........ It delivered the goods---If you were a 'Holmes' fan..... I AM!!!

    You do realise you'd already addressed that exact quote over a year ago, right? :lol:

    I have the entire fight on a couple of tapes......... I LOVE IT!!

    This was HUGE in '82......

    Great fight.......... Cooney did great for such inactivity........ His gym work with Valle was impressive in 1982......... WORD!

    1982 had some really great fights. Pryor-Arguello 1, Chacon-Limon 4, Gomez-Pintor. Mancini-Kim ended in tragedy but it was supposed to be a terrific fight (I have little interest in seeing it). Holmes-Cooney was a good fight. Hearns-Benitez may have not been all that exciting, but an excellent performance by Tommy against another great fighter.

    The late 70s to middle 80s were my favorite and peak years of taping fights off regular TV........ Dammit, I miss them years---NOW!!:think:hey:thumbsup

    Here in 2010, TV fights are long gone and cable TV fights are either over-hyped or headed for PPV........ SAD!:roll::shock::|

    Boxing is still in my blood, but the racket / game now sucks compared to the heated action of 25 years ago.......

    Anyone 40 or older who saw the 1982 event have any of the undercard on file for copying? I need "Berbick-Page" and "Tillis-Shavers."
