I've been looking everywhere for this triple header so thank you for your upload.

[@TheRaveMusicArchive]

Thanks for these full uploads.

[@PROFESSOR-I.C.]

I thoroughly enjoyed the music video of Hector 'Macho' Camacho. The song "I'm Different" by Randy Newman fit the video very well. Whoever put this video together did a entertaining piece of work. Five stars!

[@eugeniorodriguez4445]

These were the real golden years of boxing....great characters, personalities, charisma, and serious, serious fighting skills!

[@sgallegos7016]

As a teenager, my hobby was recording boxing. I have a huge box of VHS tapes sitting in storage. Full boxing telecasts of HBO, Showtime, PPV, old USA Tuesday night fights, early Friday night fights. Late 90's through mid 2000s. I just don't know how to upload to KZbin

[@charleslowe522]

People forget that Ramos was a pretty tough guy back in the 80's. He scored a one punch KO over Frankie Randell, something neither Chavez nor Rosario could do. Speaking Randell I didn't know he passed away just a little over a year ago. RIP Frankie, you had an incredible resurgence late in your career and beat one of the best fighters to ever live.

[@catanito7689]

And Randall beat Chávez for his 1st loss

[@davidtoledo3840]

It's crazy how people find and upload these old shows

[@crosbycamp8944]

Bob Brown what does your comment mean? That all of the boxing full fight videos on KZbin must first be uploaded to a torrent website? Or are you just recommending that if someone wants to watch classic boxing, there best off going to a boxing video torrent site?

[@danielhenderson8316]

While the Chavez fight wasn’t the best for Taylor (and should have stayed in the hospital instead of walking out 1 day later), the match that ended Taylor as a top boxer was massacred by Terry Norris. After that, everything fell apart for Meldrick.

Ain’t sad how Camacho and Pernell never thought in a million years that they would die tragically? Lou Duva passed away of natural causes. Taylor isn’t doing so well after retiring from the sport. I guess Chavez is the last man standing out of the 3. Oh! And Harold Letterman! He’s gone as well. Crazy. RIP to all. ❤️

[@KingvKing]

Meldrick was R U S H E D. He had 23 bouts to Chavez’ 66. That is horrendous match-making. Previously, Main Events Monitor rushed Biggs, Breland and later Taylor, Bajado and Vargas. Mel was a fighter that was very undisciplined between fights. It is easy to blame the ‘physical’ contact of Boxiana on health erosion. That is widely not the case at all. People do educate themselves to truth; through honest research. ©️Coach Hilario 2022

[@KingvKing]

Examine Lou Duva’s words before the fight and his verbiage as Meldrick comes down the aisle and in the ring. Duva is a machine that expected Taylor to fight [ as though Meldrick is a horse (?) ]. Duva speaks absolutely nothing of Meldrick’s health, future and well-being. The same for Goerge Benton, who should have known better than Lou, being a former high ranking professional Pugilist. Lou’s ‘boxing career’ is not comparable. Upon further retrospect, for the benefit of any Pugilist tomorrow, the art of match-making is critical. Who is the match maker ? Why is the fight sought and or made ? Are the pugilists near experience level. Human lives are at stake people. On this day and timing; Meldrick did N O T have to spar, let alone fight so soon. He needed more recuperative time away, to receive further cognitive examinations. He was rushed on the path to and then towards a ‘super-fight’ with Chavez then to make a ‘comeback.’ For whom and for what ? For the reasons ‘Meldrick is an Olympic Gold medalist phenom at seventeen years of age ?’ Those were the actual reasons to S L OW his career. To develop him according to his prowess. Not according to a Gold medal. In another retrospect, what was the rush for ? Greed from unHoly living perople, beginning with Mel, Duva, the commercial boxing machine at HBO, the commission members and then Meldrick’s particular inner circle. Who were they ? Shame on all of them. Today, Duva and Benton have long since passed away. HBO doesn’t host boxing events and no one ‘cares’ about the health and life of [ Meldrick ] Taylor. ©️Coach Hilario 2023
