Choose one fight that there is no footage of

I don't know where you saw it from but if it was UK I believe it was shown early Saturday morning a couple of hours delayed from LA.

 

I was there RAH.

 

I honestly can't remember that well Al.
I know I can remember Alan being let's say under a little bit of pressure in those 2 rounds! I don't know if they showed it on Sportsview which was a well known BBC show on during the week, or as you say the next morning.
I saw his fights against Harada and Rose and he was magnificent, many thought he beat Rose.
It was cruel having to go away from home a 3rd time to take on the wrecking machine that was Olivares.
A step too far Al?

 

Rudkin had gave both Harada and Rose all the trouble they could handle and he probably beat Rose, but he didn't get the nod in the other guys back yard.
Then to have to go to the Forum to take on Olivares well it was probably a step too far and Alan was blown away in 2 rounds, no disgrace in that though, Olivares was simply formidable at the time.

 

Wasn't Rudkin a victim of a very questionable "knockdown" in the Harada bout? I remember seeing stills of it in anold Boxing Illustrated...it seemed more of a slip.

 

There's so many to choose from. Peter Jackson vs Jim Corbett. That would have been nice.

 

Interesting. Never heard of Moore, I presume he never fought on TV ... probably would have needed a TV undercard or weekend afternoon spot before a title shot. Seems to have won his next fight (over Jose ‘King’ Roman — talk about your usual suspects) and disappeared from the face of the sport.

Did the Boxrec click on the date. Bernardo Mercado also fought on this card and Ronnie Harris defeated Gratien Tonna in the main event, one fight before unsuccessfully challenging Hugo Corro for the middleweight crowd — Harris vs. Tonna was his last win in a streak of more than 10 years combined amateur and pro dating back to the 1967 Pan Am Games.

 

Excellent. It got British Fight of The Year!

 

Dad would of liked to of got him back in the ring and a return was almost made in London in the summer of 1970. In the fight he just git nailed by a real big shot in the 1st round after a bright start. He didn't really get over it and Ruben was a great finisher so dad decided to take the fight to him. He felt that was his best chance but Ruben was just too good especially round that time to have shootout with.

 

Yes that was never a knockdown in the first round. The thing about that isthe judges scored it 5-3 and it was a round he could of been winning. That's a 3 point swing on the cards straight away.

 

I thought so...i remember Lew Eskin in that BI article making the point that the kd call was dubious to say the least.

 

I always thought the Harada fight was much closer than the scorecards showed.
All I seem to remember is it was a two and fro affair.

 

I am shocked there is nothing on Greb.

He is likely the number 1 all time and we cant see him in action.
