Judgement Night - 9th November 1996

I think what he meant was that boxing will never be this good again. Lets hope hes wrong.

nowadays u got so many promoters.

back then u had w*rren who had virtually all the big name uk fighter.

king & arum who dominated the american fight scene.

too many promoters who don't work together to put these great shows on. :roll:

 

The sport was just as corrupt then as it is now. The Khan vs. Maidana night was top notch imo. I don't get to watch that much boxing on TV but surely you realize a lot of this is your nostalgia? No need to get so excited about theme tunes etc but fair play, sounds like a decent night of boxing.

 

I agree boxing's slipped in terms of hype and perhaps quality a little bit but I just find this a bit over the top lol.

 

I remember Judgement night, I remember them all. I remember Winky handing out skilled beatings to Foster and Dodson as well on undercards.

Those were the days, and people wonder why i love boxing!. Well it was nights like that and if the whole thing was on a DVD with the whole show and build up and entrances i'd buy it. Great memories and proper PPV's!!.

 

Fair play. It's your memories. I know the angle your coming from. I think my cousin had this recorded on VHS for years, one of his favourites. Before my time by 5-10 years though.

 

Yeh i have got it on tape, i remember the whole night.

I was only 10 years old, and i was profoundly affected by the aura of Mike Tyson. I was afraid for Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson was just some myth for many years when i was a child........

Mike Tyson evoked allot of fear in me as a child, i was not afraid of Mike Tyson. But i felt sorry for his opponents and even as a young 10 year old i could psychological see that Frank Bruno was petrified......"I was very sympathetic".

Yeh the box office events had a great feel to them back then, it made it even more of a event because they where on late into the night. I can remember that Lennox Lewis was one of the very few pundits who left the door open for Evander Holyfield to beat Mike Tyson.........

"He kept saying, he just wants to see how Tyson will react when he is hit".......

 

Without doubt one of the best nights of boxing I've seen.

****ing mug.

 

they were great nights and they happened quite frequently back then

when i went to see my first big fight naz vs ingle i remember driving back to london with my dad to get home in time to watch RJJ jr vs Gainer (i think)

Don King had four world title fights from vegas that night one of them was mayorga vs andrew six heads lewis, they were good times

the judgement night theme tune was great

 

As Tony Soprano once said "rember when" is the lowest form of conversation.
Just kidding,sounds like a great night and not really before my time, if i had Sky back then.It` s a bloody shame that they think people would rather watch f1 then a great night of boxing
