In the past 2 weeks worth recommending: Andries vs Harding I II III Terrence Ali vs Boza Edwards Johnny Tapia vs Danny Romero Terrence Always vs Harry Arroyo Boza Edwards vs Rolando Navarrete Antonio Avelar vs Wilfredo Vazquez Shea Neary vs Andy Holligan Shea Neary vs Micky Ward of ones I have watched over the past 2 weeks these are the ones I would rec as worth revisiting
That's a lot.....let's put it this way, I have a six year old, 4-year old, and 8-month old at home. ZERO time.
I watched Freddie Gilroy-Johnny Caldwell, Liston-Machen, Liston-Williams I & II, Patterson-Johansson trilogy. For those that haven’t seen the Gilroy-Caldwell one it’s well worth a watch. A bloody, brutal fight that’s very competitive and fought at a high level. The quality of the footage isn’t great however. I recently bought the book on their story called “The best of enemies” and it’s a good read so far. I got it for $5.50 new from amazon prime.
I watched Gatti-Ivan Robinson 1 for the first time in years yesterday. It's every bit as good as Gatti-Ward 1, in fact I forgot just how good a brawl it was. I'm sure most here have seen it but it's well worth a repeat. Also Duran-Monroe Brooks. One of Durans first forays at 147 which makes it interesting in itself. Plus he looked great breaking down a pretty good fighter in Brooks. I enjoyed it.
Inoue - Donaire, obviously. Now that was a good one! Kovalev - Canelo... not so good. For Classic / non active Boxing, I've watched: Gonzalez - SSR (FOTW), Gonzalez - Estrada (FOTW), Duran - Minchillo, Shibata - Echegaray and Escalera, Chang - Ursua, Magri - Lopez, etc. I've also watched quite a lot of vintage Gavilan lately, and Billy Graham, alongside GGG amateur bouts, and a few Somrak Khamsing am bouts. As you can see, my watch order is quite bipolar, and not organised at all. Zarate - Davila as well. Next on my 'list' is: Ernesto Marcel vs Antonio Gomez Ebihara vs Kingpetch 2 (scoring) Harada vs Rudkin (last Harada bout I gotta watch) Zarate vs Pintor (scoring) More Zarate in general. Some John Conteh bouts Masao Ohba Roman Gonzalez (105 - early 108)
