Unfortunately no more fights at the forum:--( I was a boxing season holder for the monday night fights. Saw countless fights there from the late 80s until around 2000 2001. Seems like the Forum fights died when Buss(co promoter) moved the Lakers to staples.

 

Yey regular boxing events are kind of slow in LA. They have fights at the Nokia(havent been inside yet) but there mostly young prospects that GBP signed. At least at the Forum the main events were usually top contenders or World championship fights. Even the Olympic made a comeback in the 90s. Used to also be a lot of quality fights at the Anaheim Pond(also forum promoted) Reseda country club,Hollywood Bowl,Stevens Steakhouse.

Today you have fights at the Carson Home depot and Staples but only occasionly and Arreola is a regular at the Ontario Civic center but other than that not much going on anymore:-(


PS i see you are a from Washington i lived in Bellingham as a kid from 78 to 83. Your from Greg Haugens hometown?

 

I met Greg out here before real cocky but very likeable. So i see he must come from a tough family! Ever been to Bellingham?

Speaking of forum fights in the 90s have you seen Banke-Zarragoza I,or Hector Lopez vs Fuentes and Bollillo Gonzalez? Among the others i mentioned above?

Wish i would have been around for some of the classics in the 60s,70s at the forum and Olympic. My dad and uncles went to alot of those classics. From the stories some these would be on the list.
