Lionel Rose vs Fighting Harada - Highlights (LEGENDARY CLASSIC)

[@philipgould4438]

I remember sitting in the front seat of the AP6 Valiant listening to this fight on the wireless with Dad. Good times.

What a fight!

[@Sarissa99]

clean beautiful boxing, textbook loose punching displayed. Something that todays fighters are often missing.

Lionel rose was an underrated weapon

I noticed this about Harrada when I watched here the second fight against Famechon that he had. the an had no defense. No wonder he retured in his late 20 s, and is still thanifully alive today.

Can you make more videos on more modern fights? The video quality makes such a big difference in being able to see so many details of the fight that you might miss on the poorer quality video types 😊

@@jeffjacksonboxing you’re welcome and thank you to you too 🙂

Thanks Jeff for throwing up this one, would very much appreciate it if you could do something involving another Aussie - Jeff 'the hitman' Harding and Dennis Andries

[@raxmanbox]

Indeed. Love those fights. The Harding vs Andries is one of the greatest trilogies and so many people have never seen it! Fight #1 WBC 175 pound title on the line, Andries first defense, in Atlantic City FOTY contender - behind on the cards Harding gets the 12th round stoppage. Fight #2... Andries regains the WBC 175 title with Harding losing the belt and his 'O' in his 3rd defense by 7th round KO - in Melbourne and another great fight! After 6 rounds it was 3 rounds each on 1 judge card, 4-2 Hardings way on the other 2 cards! in fight #3 this time it was Andries 3rd defense of the WBC 175 title in England (so that's 3 title fights in 3 different countries!!!) and another absolute ripper of a fight. Harding becomes a 2 time WBC 175 pound champion this time by Majority Decision 114-114,115-114 & 115-113!!!!! And hardly anyone knows about this trilogy! So come on Jeff Jackson - and thank you to my compatriot Gary KingFrog for making the request - bring some shine on this most deserving of trilogies. And to Jeff The Hitman Harding in general, a truly great Aussie fighter. Went on to lose the belt (after 18months out of the ring) in a competitive UD loss to HOF legend Mike The Body Snatcher McCallum in once more his 3rd defense of the WBC 175pound title - in Hardings last fight ending his career 2 time WBC light heavy champ 23-2 w17ko's

thanks for the li’l wrap,@@raxmanbox 🙏🙏🙏💯👏 you’re right not many people remember how close that trilogy was, especially with the 3 judges in the 3rd joint, with a draw, 1 & 2 points difference. ‘Hitty’ came back here an even bigger legend than before he left for England, years later Jeff’s memory is still sharp as a razor. 🤣 If an old fan sees him & says “I remember seeing you at so n so Vs such n such & Jeff will ask them something like “what colour shorts did I wear “ or “who’s the referee”? He’s a great storyteller too.!! @JeffJackson, once again can you please do us subscribers a “personal request” for the Jeff Hitman Harding Vs Dennis Andries trilogy 🙏💯 thanking you in advance for this small consideration 💯🙏

[@jeffjacksonboxing]

You're welcome Gary! I have been thinking of making highlights of their trilogy for some time now. Perhaps, I am looking for the best quality I can find. Hopefully soon enough!

[@raxmanbox]

@@jeffjacksonboxing Fantastic! Thanks mate! One of my great regrets was throwing out the old VHS tape collection. Between myself and my old man we had loads of the 80s &90s fights - a great era for Aussie Boxing - along with Jeff Harding there was Barry Michael, and of course Jeff Fenech - but there were also some almost good enough contenders who at a local level gave great fights but just weren't at the highest level - Troy Waters who pops up in a lot of greatest round compilations for his title challenge vs Terry Norris, and his older brother Guy who lost to Andries before #3 of the harding trilogy! Their dysfunctional family is one of the great tragic stories of OZ sport as oldest brother Heavyweight Dean Waters murdered their coach and fathers wife on instruction from father Cec Waters. Dean beat the charge at trial when it was revealed their childhood was so horrible Dean had no choice but to do the murder... but I digress
