    Good stuff. The Johnny Gonzalez fight, right?

    Neither of us can compete with son of Jesse Reid though, all of his **** is 1st generation and a lot of it was recorded on 3-4inches of film. I've bought some fights off him before, quite expensive, but I'm definitely getting his pristine Barrera footage.

    You're quite up on quality, aren't you? I'm not bothered. As long as I can see the guy move and box, I don't mind. Not that i'll watch any old **** you understand.

    Who is the son of Jessie Reid? I think Zeffie Towers or whoever is #1 right now.

    He's ZeffieTowers and WaynBedfre. I have him on Facebook, absolutely cracking fella. Loves to talk boxing with me, is never to busy to do it...in fact. He sends me messages over Facebook when he finds a Barrera fight in his collection. He recently moved house and all of his fights are in storage..he literally grabs a few tapes at a time and just uploads whatever is on them.

    Admittedly, I'm quite shallow when it comes to footage. I like it to be pristine...I'm happy with the quality of my Yuh stuff. You uploaded his career best in my opinion...outside of Gamez II, anyhow. Son was devastated.

    Ah, that makes sense.

    Yeah, he has frightening footage, all great stuff. WayneBed's account is deed though. Nothing doing.

    If he got himself a nice website and dropped his prices down a tad...he could make some serious money.

    This is pretty accurate and Cotto is really making a big step up to 54. I dont think its the right weight for him. Foremans movement is going to give Cotto fits, but Foremans lack of power may allow him to operate a little better. Will be interesting to see how Steward can guide Cotto into cutting off the ring against a very difficult opponent. It could get ugly for Cotto, but I would like to see him cut the ring off and break Foreman down. Cottos boxing skills are underated, and Steward will keep him following a strategic plan.
    The only outcome that would suprise me would be a Cotto knockout of Foreman. Most likely its going the distance either way or Cotto's getting the towel thrown in on him late if hes got nothing left.

    Pretty much agree, Yuri shows good movement , but no power at all.
