Fantastic 80s fights you barely hear about

Robin Blake- Adolfo Medel
Harry Arroyo-Terrence Alli
Bobby Chacon-Art Frias
Robin Blake - Tony Baltazar
Myung Woo Yuh - Antonio Demarco 1 (just insane pace. Seriously, if you haven’t seen this and you call yourself a boxing fan, then you’re putting on airs.

 

Orlin Norris-Renaldo Snipes was the first to come to mind. Norris built an early lead, then survived a rough 11th & 12th to get the W. Bert Cooper KO4 Tony Fulilangi was another good fight on that card. These were both on the undercard of Foreman-Qawi.

A couple of journeyman, but Dan Morgan-Mike Pollitt was definitely a fun fight. Both hit the deck in the 7th round of that one.

No footage that I'm aware of, but Terry Norris-Gilbert Baptiste was supposedly a great fight.

Harold Brazier- Robin Blake.

 

Real nice to see some Rockin Robin Blake mentions.

Another good one of Robin was on another one of those older ESPN bouts against Chris Calvin.

 

Wasn’t Laporte basically a career punching bag? - guy known for his chin more than winning… like a little Chuvalo.

 

He was much, much better than Chuvalo.

 

Might’ve been, didn’t watch him properly, just see what’s written - could you give me a snap shot of him?

 

I'm going to go with Pedroza vs Lockrage, Tate vs Weaver and Leon Spinks vs Eddie the animal Lopez.

Threads like this makes me miss the Mortlocks input.

 

Galindez Rossman

 

Roger Mayweather vs Harold Brazier was a good one.

 

Sims-Barkley

 

OK, so I'm cheating but I think the first Andries v Harding fight just squeezed into the 80s? What a fight, what a trilogy...

 

Yep 89 after McClellan lost a decision, Emanuel was taping Andries’ hands and not in G-Man corner.

 

Not Juan Laporte. Laporte was a very good featherweight lightweight who fough pretty much everyone. Has a one punch KO of an undefeated Rocky Lockridge.
