    I see it a long time ago on Colin McMillans website he had his own website with all his fights.

    I somehow missed this before, but when I stumbled across it your Holy-Qawi I reference instantly reminded me that I got to see that fight live in Atlanta. Best fight I’ve ever seen in person.

    I’ve told it before, but it’s a great memory. I was in college and week of the fight my Pop called and said ‘You want to go to Atlanta this weekend for the Holyfield championship fight?’ Not a hard one to answer, haha. He made all the arrangements — airline tickets, fight tickets, hotel rooms for two nights. It was a great trip and a great memory.

    I’m going over to have lunch with Pop and Mom on Sunday and I’ll be sure to remind him.

    Rafael “Bazooka” Limon (c) vs. Bobby Chacon II, scheduled for 12 rounds for Limon’s NABF super featherweight crown on April 9, 1979 at Sports Arena Los Angeles.

    Finally getting around to this. I think it was @scartissue who pointed me to it, for which I am grateful, as I’d never seen it. Alas, their first meeting (a 1975 10-round decision for Bazooka in Mexico) is not on film.

    Chacon is 41-4 and weighs 129 3/4. Limon is 43-8-1 and scales 129 1/4. Rafael is a southpaw.

    They would fight again about a year later, with Bobby winning, and in Ring magazine’s 1982 Fight of the Year, with the Schoolboy rallying late to take a 15-round decision for the world title.

    Here we go …

    1. Chacon 10-9: Slowish round until last 45 seconds or so, when they go toe-to-toe. Bobby is sharpshooting with the right hand throughout, but Bazooka does some good work with Chacon on the ropes in the latter portion with right hooks to the head and body.

    2. Chacon 10-9 (c): Good work with the left hand throughout for the Schoolboy, who works the jab well and hooks to the body and head. Limon again comes on late, pinning Chacon on the ropes and maybe pulling ahead. In the final seconds he gets Bobby on the ropes again but this time Chacon comes roaring back with a fury to edge it. They get heated in the middle of the round with each accusing the other of head butts.

    3. Limon 10-9: Bazooka comes out hard with a sense of urgency and does some good work, especially to the body. Chacon shows good defense along the ropes, blocking and ducking shots, but spends too much time there and enough gets through for Rafael to take it, although Bobby fights back well late.

    4. Chacon 10-9: Bobby makes a concerted effort to stay off the ropes and takes total command. He pot-shots with laser-guided rights and Limon misses a lot.

    5. Chacon 10-9: Similar round. Chacon can’t miss and Bazooka throws some wild shots trying to make something happen but is way off-target. Limon is cut over the right eye.

    6. Chacon 10-9: Bobby rocks his man and goes for it, unleashing a furious attack with both hands. His right leads are precise and hard. The ref stops the action to let the doctor check Limon’s cut and he lets it go on, prompting a late rally from Bazooka, but not enough to take the round.

    7. They clash heads again, this time badly, early in the round. Limon is busted wide open over his right eye, The doctor comes in to inspect it and waves it off (don’t have a precise time but it’s in the first minute).

    Ruling is a technical draw because it’s judged that Chacon caused the accidental cut. They didn’t go to a technical decision in these days (at least not in California or under NABF rules) so it’s called a draw since Bobby was ahead on all three cards (I suppose that means if Limon was ahead he’d be awarded the fight?).

    My card: 59-54 Chacon. Official scoring: 60-56, 59-56 and 59-55, all for Chacon.

    Disappointing and abrupt ending aside, I would watch these guys forever. They were made for each other.

    Myung Woo Yuh v Udin Baharudin (jr. flyweight title)

    Round 1: 10-9 UB
    Round 2: 10-8 Yuh (scores a knockdown)
    Round 3: 10-9 Yuh
    Round 4: 10-9 Yuh
    Round 5: 10-9 Yuh
    Round 6: 10-9 Yuh
    Round 7: UB takes a standing 8 count and is dropped before the ref stops the bout.

    Total through 6 completed rounds: 59-54 Yuh (actual scores: 60-55, 60-54 and another 60-54 all for Yuh)

    Yuh was conspicuously inactive during most of this contest, not really turning up the dial until the 7th. But man, did he turn it up. I guess he just wanted to go home at that point and just obliterated his opponent. Wouldn't recommend this fight. Only the 7th round if you want to see an executioner at work.

    So glad I discovered Yuh a couple years ago. He's now in my top ten favorites.

    I love Dolly Parton’s version and it was written from the heart as her goodbye to Porter Wagoner, who brought her up in the business and did duets with her, but he was beginning to decline as her star was on the rise and she went solo. It’s a sweet song paying respect to all he had done for her, but also saying it’s her life and her time now.

    Dolly wrote the hell out of it and hers was a great song, but Whitney sang the everliving hell out of that song and made it her own.

    Round 3: Castillo (scores a knockdown)
    Round 4: Olivares
    Round 5: Even
    Round 6: Olivares

    Round 8: Olivares (best round)
    Round 9: Even
    Round 10: Olivares
    Round 11: Olivares
    Round 12: Olivares
    Round 13: Olivares
    Round 14: Castillo
    Round 15: Olivares

    Total: 11-3 Olivares (actual scores: 9-4, 10-5 and 7-6 all for Olivares)

    As much a fan of these two as I am, the film quality always prevented me from watching any of their bouts, but this one wasn't bad and I enjoyed every minute of it. The 8th and the 14th were about the best rounds for action. Really got a kick out of seeing them in their prime. I wish more of their fights would materialize.

    Of the two, I really more enjoy watching Chucho in action. Perhaps because I finally got to see him on film later in my boxing journeys after seeing his name a lot earlier in our days and then seeing him kind of fade into obscurity.

    To me, he’s just the kind of guy YouTube is made for: discovering fighters we (or at least I) hadn’t seen. It’s fine and dandy that we can dial up Leonard-Hagler or Duran-Barkley, but these more hidden gems are the true value.

    Carmen Basilio vs Tony DeMarco 2

    1 DeMarco
    2 DeMarco
    3 Basilio
    4 DeMarco
    5 DeMarco
    6 DeMarco
    7 DeMarco
    8 DeMarco
    9 Basilio
    10 Basilio
    11 Basilio
    12 Basilio wins by KO

    106-103 DeMarco

    I haven't seen alot of fights from this era but i enjoyed this one alot an absolute slugfest from start to finish, DeMarco built up an early lead and rocked Basilio in numerous rounds coming close to knocking him down in a few rounds. But Basilio showed why he's one of the toughest fighters in history weathered the storm, and by the 10h round DeMarco was running on empty and started walking on to shots until Basilio started landing right hands at will in the 12th round to finish the job in brutal finish.

    Great fight.
