"Willard still standing, sanginous fluid streaming from his mangled countenance, the only thing holding him uprigjht, his gargantuan testicles".

All of these fights will be posted (see Leonard/Duran on page 1) when I get the chance.

Interesting short bio on Dempsey and I found the part talking about Gene Tunney very enlightening, a closet intellectual and a good sport.
-
Another interesting short bio on pioneer bare-knuckle boxing champ John L. Sullivan who fought more than a few fights that lasted over 75 rounds! Talk about being punch-drunk!!!

Great Stuff Weiner!

Very good! It was as much a bio of Tunney as it was Dempsey there at the end. I found it interesting that there was no footage of Dempsey training.

Yikes!
Modern day bare knuckle boxing (BKB). Skip to 06:15 to get past the prefight nonsense.

De La Hoya/Mosley

Another series that will get my full attention when I have the time:
-

1.) Good to see you! 😃
2.) Frazier is often overlooked but he was just as much in the mix as Foreman and Ali.
(I wouldn't want to get hit by him!)

Not sure of any great rivalry he had but I sure used to like to watch Joe Hipp in action
-
Pacquiao/Morales
-

They don't have to be rivalries - just a good match. Gotta love those southpaws!

Jake LaMotta - Sugar Ray Robinson
LaMotta's six-fight rivalry with Sugar Ray Robinson was one of the most notable in the sport, but LaMotta won only one of the bouts. Although each fight was close, LaMotta dropped Robinson to the canvas multiple times.

And here I thought that I was the only Joe Hipp fan in the world. I remember watching that bout on USA Boxing with Sean O'Grady. I always liked Joe's signature boxing style, use your head as a punching bag until the other guy wears himself out, then you can move in for the kill. Glad to see that Joe is still with us: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Hipp

I am starting to get into boxing again this year. The Showtime schedule is pretty solid
As for rivalries I liked Holyfield-Bowe

Wrestling has never really drawn my interest -- not even when I was young and all my friends were watching and talking about it. I like MMA as well but it should have it's own thread because the strategy is completely different than boxing.

Wrasslin' and boxing I liked. Knew wrestling was fake (in outcome but not in athleticism and pain) but for a decade it seemed more real than boxing with suspect "decisions" influences of certain promoters and weird shit like bitings, failed weigh-ins/drugs, too short matches, rule changes, etc. And the storylines about wrestling, some bordering on racist and more overtly, hilariously, pro-USA was great during Cold War and Iran times. And who can forget Andy Kaufman "from Hollywood" versus the King Jerry Lawler and various big gals?
MMA seems too violent to me and the whole girls fighting thing is not my bag. Though I admit when the Octogon first started and tough-man contests started when there was no weight class or style rules it was fun, in a gladiator kind of way. See some tomato-can "brawler" face a diminutive Asian jujitsu expert with a 100+ lbs difference was interesting.

Brutal though the midget's death was some emphysema complication. Sound familiar? But Bundy was, apparently, concerned about it. I saw him talk on more bigger guys, I wanna say Big John Studd? Maybe a Hillbilly Jim was involved? Memories fade.

Yep. Kong, Little Tokyo and Lord Littlebrook versus Hillbilly, Haiti Kid and Little Beaver.

I still swear I saw, on tv though, someone get their neck broke at some AWA Road Warriors maybe versus Andersons or somebody? Neck twisted in a bad way on the ropes. Again, vague...used to see "The Polish Hammer" Putski around town. He was a security office at the HS in nearby county! Wow. And Dusty Rhodes, RIP, was from around here.

Dunno about a broken neck - probably has happened a bunch. Really cool about Putski

If I had skills I pondered on BG about a "smoking in the boy's room" video mashup and the "Polish Hammer" breaking it up and keeping those kids in line. Can you imagine?

Ha! Indeed I did but she almost always uses her EyePad. I hate EyePad. Need a real keyboard and I don't care for IoS.
Closest I've come to getting busted was the big recycling bin - it was over flowing with pop and beer cans.
Thankfully rubbish day was today. 8)

Supposedly set for January 2024 in Macao under the international boxing rules.
This could be good.
Personally, this is a more watchable sport than MMA.

Was this guy for real or what?
Maybe just "Fake News". The Professor will let us know.

Hmm. Never heard of him, damn sad story though. Would have been interesting to see how far he'd rise should things have been different.
We have a professor in our midst?
