Don't use Hip Hop for boxing highlight videos. Im a massive Hip Hop fan, but its not for boxing. Dance music is probably the best, with limited vocals. Try this track. Marrs - Pump up the volume.
i actually really like this old like roman type song for this tyson highlight....check it out the song starts at 50 sec http://youtube.com/watch?v=_ycjY3Yu-NQ very good overall video too....on my myspace
Make it something unexpected (i.e. "What a Feeling" from Flashdance.) Or if you can leave the commentary in and it still flows, just go with that.
[yt]L9wSSs2Uxj0[/yt] That song will fit perfectly for any boxing highlight clip. Many great songs out there, but some some dont gel with the viewing. Some people go for Hip Hop simply because its there fav genre of music, but in my opinion it dont gel with boxing. That song above I think does, as its got a good beat, and varied as well. Flowing beats, and perfectly paced. Stop start at times with the beats and sharp. Sampled. Its not too mellow, and not fast. Great for two fighters exchanging blows.
