Famous fighters who are missing a filmed fight.

Not a missing fight, but Lyle vs Shavers is a great fight, but everytime I've watched that fight, it's SILENT! I don't know why or how the audio wasn't recorded?

 

Miguel Canto:
Title fights with Gonzalez (the first one), Takada, Vargas (the second), and Oguma (first and second) were all filmed, and I've seen video proof of their existence via highlights, partial fights, or snippets, but the full fights remain unsurfaced.

I've seen people selling highlights of the Hanagata fight, so that one was likely taped in full. Never seen any proof of the rematch with Park, but suspect it was filmed.

No idea on his defenses against Javierto and Arnal.

Canto vs. Espinal did not air on Mexican TV, so unless a station from the Dominican Republic sent over a camera crew it probably was not filmed.

The rest are all on YouTube in full (or nearly in full), but that's less than half of his eighteen career title fights.

 

Whether Greg Haugen classifies as a truly "famous" fighter or not, just try and find a copy of his title defense against Miguel Santana from 1988. Had to be televised, right? Never seen hide nor hair of it anywhere.

 

Did you see that thing that came up, on Tyson s fight with Mcneely, someone in the crowd was filming with an iPhone?
Lol.
A time traveller goes back from the future to 1995, to film a fight that would have been filmed massively anyway!
Great stuff.

 

There’s quite a bit of WW Robinson…

 

You sure about it? I was following Kovalev on his way up and never came across it.

 

Yes.

 

Eubank Sr’s first fight on tv in the uk was Logan. Apart from highlights of his fight with Greg George on Grandstand with no commentary.

 

The next one was v Johnny Melfah, again highlights.

His introduction to live ITV was 1990 vs an Argentine in Brighton over 12 for a minor belt, 5 years into his pro career strangely.
