Flash Elorde vs Ismael Laguna is one of those fights that I would really like to have seen footage of.


World junior lightweight champ Gabriel (Flash) Elorde floored Panama's Ismael Laguna twice here Saturday night as he blasted his way to a unanimous 10 round non-title decision before 30,000 hometown fans. Elorde caught Laguna with a left hook and a right cross that sent the Panamanian to the floor in the 4th round. It was the same combination that sent Laguna down again in the 9th. Laguna appeared aggressive during the first three rounds but after he was decked lost some of his zeal. Laguna's best rounds were the 6th and 7th. Elorde, however, came to life again in the 9th after fighting Laguna on even terms in the 8th."

Scorecards (all for Elorde)

• Judge Jaime Valencia - 45-44
• Judge Arturo Cayetano - 48-45
• Judge Alfredo Quiazon - 46-44

• Unofficial UPI scorecard - 48-44 Elorde

• "After Laguna got hit in the 4th round he was never the same again. That knockdown took everything out of him." -Isaac Kresch, Laguna's manager

Big John Tate when he lost to Weaver.

that Italian verse De La Hoya

two fighters who could have, and I believe should have but seemed to be somewhat 'overawed' by the situation and kind of frozen & under performed, Eastman vs Hopkins, Kessler vs Calzaghe.

Benn vs Watson and Tyson vs. Lewis.

loads, great fights swimming at the top, but Boxing Politicking stood in the way... too many really.

George Chuvalo for a multitued of reasons.

 

If anyone can find a full video of Mbulelo Botile vs Hector Lizarraga that would be great.

Are either of the Shavers - Young fights out there but simply not circulated, privately owned? I’d love to see those.

 

Legit tough guy Robert Mitchum stomping Bernie Reynolds.

If only they had iPhones back in the day.

 

Dee Collier ko1 Tex Cobb

 

Julio Cesar Green vs Darren Obah. I know Darren pretty well so for that reason, I’d love to see it.

 

I dont know why they keep taking these 120 plus year old film down, how long does these copywrites suppose to last?

 

I had never heard of this incident. Mitchum is lucky he didn't have to go four rounds with Reynolds. The next year Bernie fought Rocky Marciano and Ezzard Charles. Mitchum's toughest opponent was Jane "Two Guns" Russell. He wouldn't stop clinching.

 

I’d like to see more of Sammy Angott.

Used to not get him but after studying him a bit from what video we do have, I can’t get enough of that tough and rugged little spoiler.
