Watched Holmes Shavers 1 Yesterday

Watched this fight through You Tube ,on my new 42" TV , nice to see it on the big screen .
Very fast paced ,exciting heavyweight fight.
It got me thinking about the last time I saw a great heavyweight scrap,and just as sad ,when am I likely to see another?

 

I've been watching a heap of Holmes lately. Thoroughly enjoyed watching his scraps with Witherspoon, Carl Williams and even Bobick from the Ali -v- Frazier III undercard.

 

I remember getting up Sunday mornings sitting in front of the screen stuffing bacon sandwiches in my face,watching Larry against Snipes, Cooney , Bey,ect, and all for free.:good

 

Master Boxing class by the great Holmes.

 

That was the fight that convinced the doubters like Cosell and showed them that Holmes was for real. Holmes basically dominated Shavers in that first fight and put on a brilliant boxing exhibition.

 

I think you remember wrong cuz Holmes Conney sure wasn't free or on a Sunday morning, least not stateside.

 

If people leave the US they don't eventually fall of the edge of the world. I live in the UK, of which America is a colony,[ we would have colonised Portugal, but there's nowt there but golf courses] . Holmes/ Cooney was gratis in G.B. I taped it to keep on the Sunday morning, still got it on VHS.


Had to come back,it's occured to me that the Holmes /Conney fight might have been P4V.


Am certain the Holmes /Cooney one was free in GREAT BRITTANIA though.

Tell me about these bacon sandwiches...........?

 

Wait till this saturday Eddie Chambers vs Tomasz Adamak, even if there is a lack of drama, will show pretty high level boxing (compared to the rest of the bunch during today) at a competitive level. I'm looking forward to this moreso than I can remember for a heavyweight fight.

 

Thanks for the heads up ,I will try and catch it.:good

 

No good for a young athlete like yourself, can't do someone like me any more damage.

 

No probs :thumbsup

While it won't exactly be a Holmes-Shavers you have two well schooled heavyweights. For me the winner of this one is clearly the third best heavyweight in the world. Its as good as it gets and at least theres no ugly Klitschko style involved (I respect them, but struggle to watch them).

 

Me too, they bore the **** out of me. Just watched Ward /Gatti 3 on ESPN, those were the days:good

 

Of course, but great fights happen evrey year.

2008- Israel Vasquez vs Rafael Marquez 3. About as good as its gets

 

Give me a classic fight and a bacon sandwhich and I'm in heaven.
