    Nothing fancy at all, and no music (yet) I wanted to see the general reactions before I make it any longer (and more work intensive, lol)

    Enjoy.

    Anyone have any good tunes that they'd put onto a Hart highlight?

    That's a good pick but it would be easier to do something that isn't copyrighted so Youtube doesn't run multiple ads and crap on the video or land me in hot water.

    Excellent work Russell. I´m speaking from memory but Hart´s knockdown (1st round) of Denny Moyer was pretty spectacular and some of the hooks he landed on Vito Antuofermo (Vito claimed he felt like his head was spinning like in the Exorcist) during their war.

    That left hook was a thing of beauty

    Thank you FF!

    Vito said Hart was digging so hard to his body his feet were leaving the canvas. :eek:

    I've noticed his power physically moving fighters around too, almost like a cartoon. Fitting for a guy that threw left hooks so hard he'd literally spin like the Tasmanian Devil.

    Do you think falling out of the ring and getting knocked unconscious like Hart did changed his career trajectory at all? Head trauma and bad concussions are no joke.

    Don´t think it helped much. Hart´s (Moyer started messing him around and might have pulled off an upset) defence really was bad but what a hook. He hit a bad run of form after the Moyer fight and losing to Bobby Watts in a round has no explanation.

    Then turned his career right round (I believe he won Philly comeback of the year award) by beating Radames Cabrera (just floored and outpointed a young undefeated future champ Eddie Gregory), destroying Mario Rosa who would also floored Eddie Gregory twice before losing a war.

    Next up was former Olympic Gold medallist Sugar Ray Seales who had only 1 loss and draw on his record vs the great Marvin Hagler. Hart floored him (something Hagler hadn´t done in the their 2 fights though would destroy him in a round in their 3rd match) and won a shock decision.

    Next was a slam bang draw with the great Bennie Briscoe that nobody expected but these great results faded when Briscoe destroyed him in a round in the return.

    Hagler said Hart (and later Sibson) was one of the hardest punchers he fought, Marvin boxed superbly to win in eight. Vito took some terrific blow before dismantling Cyclone in 5 in a terrific clash.

    Hart then cameback 5 years later to loss to Tony Suero.

    I like it.

    The first scene got to have a knockout/knock down though. Same for second and third scene. At the beginning of the video you need a lot of knock downs and KO’s in fast succession. That will get people hooked to keep watching. Now when they see the first scene and no knockdown my might move on fast. You only got a few seconds to impress early.
