That late 1980's / 1990's version of Boxing Illustrated was another Bert Sugar vehicle, and it was pretty good. It had many of the same qualities...
He was a credible top-10 contender for a number of years. He was usually exciting, and you tuned in because you never knew what was going to...
Cool. Mine are mostly all gone, though in the last few years I scanned them before selling them on eBay. I think by the time you got to collecting...

I think a lot of that was Tim living large while in London, bringing a big entourage over, and going on shopping sprees, charging it all to Don...
On the West Coast scheduling must've been a little different. We'd see CBS Sports Spectacular at 3:30 pm, followed by ABC's Wide World of Sports...
