Yeah, well, after them low blows to Holmes' balls from Cooney you'd think Ol' Larry would've wanted Cooney gone right then and there, but the fight went on until round 13.... It was a damn good fight for 1982... deal MR.BILL
"Duran-SRL 2" was a fluke scenario, but part # 3 just totally sucked the bone deep..... However, the hell has this to do with Holmes and Cooney? MR.BILL:yikes
"Holmes-Cooney" was boring? I strongly disagree with that notion...... I love that title fight of the 80s........ It delivered the goods---If you were a 'Holmes' fan..... I AM!!! thumbsup MR.BILL
"Holmes-Cooney" of '82 is STILL one of my all-time favs to review....... TRUTH! I love that heavyweight title fight...... I do...... Really....... MR.BILL
I have the entire fight on a couple of tapes......... I LOVE IT!! This was HUGE in '82...... Great fight.......... Cooney did great for such inactivity........ His gym work with Valle was impressive in 1982......... WORD! MR.BILL
1982 had some really great fights. Pryor-Arguello 1, Chacon-Limon 4, Gomez-Pintor. Mancini-Kim ended in tragedy but it was supposed to be a terrific fight (I have little interest in seeing it). Holmes-Cooney was a good fight. Hearns-Benitez may have not been all that exciting, but an excellent performance by Tommy against another great fighter.
"Mancini-Kim" was great....... No mismatch....... **** just happens...... Kim was there until the end........ MR.BILL:bbb
i remember thinking holmes would do cooney early.cooney's left hook to the scrotum was awesome though
The late 70s to middle 80s were my favorite and peak years of taping fights off regular TV........ Dammit, I miss them years---NOW!!:think:hey:thumbsup Here in 2010, TV fights are long gone and cable TV fights are either over-hyped or headed for PPV........ SAD!:roll::shock::| Boxing is still in my blood, but the racket / game now sucks compared to the heated action of 25 years ago....... bbb MR.BILL:hat
Anyone 40 or older who saw the 1982 event have any of the undercard on file for copying? I need "Berbick-Page" and "Tillis-Shavers." MR.BILL:bbb:deal
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVUrDd9MrrA[/ame] Here you go. Tillis-Shavers is on yt but I couldn't find Berbick-Page. I don't have either fight but you can view Tillis-Shavers on the link I provided.
Bill I hope you realize you can download youtube videos and put them on dvds to watch them on your tv if thats why you don't like them then its very easy to fix
