Hector Pena's coaches gave Cecil Taylor the wrong kind of tape. You can see him sliding all over the place

This is like "Apollo Creed" from Rocky-Films! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like Film Actor Carl Weathers!

Would love to know if you have more footage of this fight? Or photos ??

Thank you for teach me what I know

You still got it sensei Peter

Big guy keeps dropping his hands every time he’s ready to strike.

If Michael Jai White was a fictional character from one of his movies the real life, Michael Jai, White would be Peter Sugarfoot Cunningham

🤙 Bob tellem weave gotem twisted 🥨. Before Money 💰 Mayweather there was Master Pete.

Sugarfoot never even used his legs. Lol Crazy skills.

With no rules Jackson would be dogmeat in under 2 minutes.

Still got it? Cash in hand

Cecil Taylor is one of the kindest and best human beings I've ever met. I had the opportunity to learn from him and his family in the mid 90s in Yuma, AZ. I wish I could've stuck with it, but they moved away.

Good fight good luck

Bob Wall was the commentator

0:55 Sugarfoot performing champion-level footwork.

This is gold. 2 of the best fighters ever out of California.

Bruh Peter is actually insane he is just nasty at everything

Bonnie Canino won that fight.

Perfect footwork

I like to come back here. Howard Jackson was a great man, and a good friend. Knew him in LA, lived in the same bldg. he was working out hard until the end. He loved his family. Sail on brother.

THE MASTER

Brulee

Was that a spin kick?

Lol

What kind of fight was this? Bennys opponent was doing everything he could to actually fight and Benny acted like a clown the whole time. That is disrespectful to an opponent that had the balls to face the man behind the name, and all he did was dance around like a clown. Not a fan anymore

How has this had so few views...

Great fight I've trained with master Benny he's a gentleman and one of the greats in martial arts.Dana Goodson was Stan the mans trainer who had a good career in kickboxing.

Hey would you have the complete video of the fights this night? I also fought on the same card and have been trying to find it for years!!

Hello shawn

Legend. There should be an archive channel for martial arts where we can watch the legends of the past. I wish I grew up in this golden era of fighting. Both Martial Arts and boxing

My dad worked here in the 90’s and he’s often have the place to himself, I spent a lot of my childhood here. It looks exactly the same. 😊

Obviously (well, obvious to folks who understand the evolution of the sport...), they were working out the rules on what "full contact" actually meant in 1974, and what techniques were permissible and prohibited...ok to 12-6 elbow on the head, and stomp a grounded fighter, but merely "pin" a person in guard (and not pound and/or submit). Very fascinating. These competitions are the progenitors of modern MMA and the UFC. So, I don't get why people think these fights are "lame...," I mean... you don't see anyone in 2019 fighting like Royce Gracie or Chuck Liddell anymore, either. Today, without question Benny would be attacking the lower leg and calf/shins... and just like we are starting to see that "Chinese jab" Lee always mentioned ("...only much more damaging..."), we are going to start seeing full downward sidekicks to hyperextend knees and chop down mobility. (We already are....) Point being, it always takes a while... a whole cycle of fighting, ring/cage experience, and stomaching the transition of imagination into reality before practical techniques get developed and evolve into something we are accustomed to seeing in our era. For a long time, many years actually, lots of MMA experts poo-poo'd spinning techniques as worthless and even dangerously flashy... some of those techniques that were long being tried and tested in kickboxing where elbows and low-kicks were being disallowed... and now over the past 5-6 years we have seen the roundhouse to the head become an essential KO tool (as opposed to a niche weapon that one guy like Mirko could perfect... even though 15-20 years prior Wallace was doing it all day, in a slightly different way-- shins, top of the foot, and ball all have their place depending on rules...). And the spinning back kick has become essential, and to a lesser degree the spinning hook kick has come back from the '80s. Things have to get messy and sloppy, and fighters have to dare to try a mix of things (and often look goofy doing it, and maybe get KO'd for being flashy, too...), for all these techniques to find their place in an MMA fighter's toolbox. Just like it took the first UFC tournaments to legitimize jiu-jitsu as combat effective in the cage/ring... and took even longer to hash out its necessity and fusion between Greco-Roman wrestling, too. Just like Muay Thai had to be fused into the sport also, speaking of... What I think people are justified in finding lame are these watered-down "handcuffed" combat sports that purport to be faithful to a style, and yet carve out huge essential chunks of that style to streamline (or "continue the action") the competition. For example, it drives me a little nuts when I look at a fighter's professional record, and it will say "Muay Thai Record"-- and you look at the fights and promotion, and it's obviously limited kickboxing that disallows elbows or lower leg kicks or head clinching... what is "Muay Thai" without elbows... 🙄 So, I suppose if you see "Full Contact Karate," and nobody is getting punched in the face, that is suspect, sure.... But this is not that. This 1974 World Series of Martial Arts was full contact MMA fighting as best as they understood it at the time. We watched these things, and Muay Thai and Vale Tudo and cagefighting way before UFC 1 was concocted... we traded shitty VHS tapes of all sorts of weird bareknuckle tough-MF fights... otherwise UFC never would have been organized to begin with (because it was organized, in essence, so yet another "my kung fu is better than your kung fu" challenge could translate skills to competition and evolve the sport... and to take our money for love of bloodsport, because the promotion knew that there is always a market for gladiatorial combat sports in a free society...). (🤔 Speaking of bloodsport... remember Paulo Tocha in "Bloodsport?" How many kids were mesmerized by the Paco fight...) Anyway, just musing while I watch old footage. For those of you youngsters who think Benny Urquidez is "lame...." Well, he was a cocky dude, like a lot of fighters are ("a legend in his own mind" etc.), but he had the chops to back it up. He didn't duck, fought in wildly disparate weight classes, and would bring the action with fast and good technique. He could definitely fight in this era, no doubt. The "best?" Well... there are a lot of "bests." "The Best" is all a matter of what era you are watching; "the Best" is indelibly linked with fleeting time. But he was pretty exciting for the day. Watch some old tape. 🤓

Dana is my first cousin. His mom Evelyn was my mothers eldest sister. Remember when he was just starting out with Karate in West Covina, CA. I remember all the freaking trophies he collected as a young man. Eventually ended up in Australia. His death came as a huge shock. He was a wonderful person that would give the shirt off his back if it would help another. RIP Dana!

Dude in black extremely sharp, damn!

That was not karate...that was βρωμοξυλο (pure beating up)
