    I can understand why people like George dislike fights on the basis of them being sloppy and not well-fought fights, but I thought they really let each other have it in that fight. Don't you wish the rematch was somewhere on YT? :risas3:

    I can lose interest in a fight, and take my eyes off it from time to time, but there's only one fight I've ever snoozed off on, Rubin Carter vs. Jimmy Ellis. There's not a more unbearable fight out there. Except for Rubin Carter vs. Farid Salim.

    Is it just me, or does it seem like the 60s was one of the greatest decades of all time for boxing, and then you see a lot of these fights you'd think are great matchups, and they absolutely SUCK! Now, I still think the 60s is one of the greatest decades of boxing, but there were a load of stinkers that's for sure.

    The one I remember laboring through most was Ruiz-Oquenco.

    If it weren't for its significance, that is to say, if I'd never heard of the fighters before, I would probably have changed the channel about halfway through the Klitschko-Fury fight.



    Ditto for Valuev-Holyfield.
    I think both men should have gotten an 'L' for that snooze-inducer.

    No, I more or less stopped. It was on in the background as I was interested in the main event. But I wasn't paying strict attention, and was relieved when I heard it was stopped.

    Ah, but I don’t drink any more. But, by the same token, I also don’t drink any less.

    My keyboard has a breathalyser unit attached to prevent me from TUI (typing under the influence).

    About to have my first drinky poohs for the day.…you won’t be hearing from me for a while….chin chin….

    I mentioned Buchanan v Laguna 1 because of the film quality. There might be a better version of it somewhere, but the version I’ve seen on YouTube is really awful and hard to watch because of it.
