Footage thread

My other account got banned, it should be back this week sometime.

Its good you/they are uploading them as fighters dont get their just dies sometimes because of lack of footage. Props for that.

Good to see you might post abit more, your insight is always more than welcome.

 

It's a great thing you're doing, B(_)LL. It can't be understated how greatly this is appreciated for someone like me, who until recently has been broke as a joke and unable to dish out the money needed to obtain a lot of this footage. Now that I've got a job I'll be getting into contact with you and others a lot more frequently.

By the way, you have the cleverest screen name I've seen on these forums.:good

 

Torres got ruined by that left hook. Classic KO.

 

Sweet! Rockabye Rubin!

 

Thanks for that footage of the Olivares-Bisbal fight, been wanting to see that for ages. Bisbal was a good pro who knew his way round the ring. My dad beat him on points over 10, shut out but he made it interesting in most rounds. Apparently his fight with Howard Winstone was a carbon copy. McGowan stopped him in 5 in a fight I'd like to see, don't know if that one exists.
Bit of other info, I was with a good friend of mine in Cardiff the other week, Howard Winstone Jnr and he was telling me that olivares was his dad's chief sparring partner for the third Saldivar fight. I wouldn't of minded being a fly on the wall for that. Olivares stopped Ushiwakamaru Harada on the undercard.

 

I see Garza underwent a name change half-way through the bout. I was unaware of this occurence.

 

Great upload. This one got past me. I didn't even know Villasana and Garza had fought. I lost track of Garza (and so did the TV networks I think) after his thrilling one round loss to Juan "Kid" Meza.

 

Thanks for those, McGrain; I too hadn't realized Garza and Villasana had fought. Great little scrap.

I remember reading in The Ring about the Davila-Sanchez fight after it happened. They described the action and how the fight seemed to turn with the rain, as Davila smartly turned Sanchez into the storm when he could, so as to blind him a bit. They called it "Holy water" in the article.

I was pleased to see that on youtube awhile back, I'd always been curious about it.

 

Sanchez was a good unrefined talent, a bit like Bernardo Caraballo.Quick fighter who was just a bit too disjointed.
