What'd it mean 2 U ta B AT 1 of U'r hero's fights?

Bloody hell JG.. With that thread title, I needed a young kid to decypher it.

Have you turned Gangsta in your old age?

My own fav live fight experience is seeing Fenech iced 3 out of the 4 times I seen him.

vs Nelson II
vs Grove
vs Holiday

Kostya Tszyu's debut was also pretty impressive.

 

JG, you saw SRR fight Gavilan?! That was supposed to have been his best fight ever, musta been amazing to watch, the two of them go at it.

 

For me, it was watching the great Eddie Perkins in action! I was lucky enough to attend 2 of his fights back in the late 60's - and to this day, he stands out as the finest ring technician I've seen live.

He wasn't the flashy type, dancing all over the place like Pep - nor did he make a lot of excess, jerky movements a la Mosley. No, he was very calm and controlled in everything he did, coming in behind a strong left jab - and then bringing over the right when he saw an opening. Just beautiful to watch!

Today, when I see a fighter like Pacquiao, I wonder how a prime Perkins would do against him. In my heart, I want to think that he would take the Filipino to school - but when I think about it rationally, I realize, that he most likely wouldn't. I was just an impressionable 17-year-old kid, when I saw him... and over the years I have probably, in my mind, build him up to something he can't quite live up to. I have tried to find a clip of him on YouTube, but so far with no luck. And maybe it's better that way - because if something does turn up one day, I'll probably be more than a little disappointed!

 

I would've told everyone if that had happened to me. Couldnt have paid me enough to shut up. lol

 

How impressive was Billy Conn in that fight?

 

Bukkake, I seen Perkins bout with Ryu Sorimachi (albeit on film) and he is just as you say, such a good technician and this was him way past his best.

 

Ive never been to a fight :-(

Id love to see Morales in the flesh before he retires even tho he is past his best, he`s my favourite fighter of my lifetime, Ali was fkd by the time I was born (1979)

 

Can this be found on the net???

 

Don't think so.

 

No kidding. I would've thought that was some perennial performance or something.
