When Boxing Hype Meets Reality Pt4

BLTV adds 3 new entrants to the Boxing Hype Jobs series. Including Taishan, Cletus Seldin, & Mark Gastineau #Boxing

[@TheUPChannel]

The Gastineau/Anderson/Parker story sounds like it could be a video on its own. It'd be great to expand on it a bit further.

[@BLTVEXTRA9]

That was the original plan but due the lack of footage (and research on my behalf so far) I thought it would be best to cover it briefly. I'm glad you and so many others have found it interesting

Trivia: Judah Maccabeus is a revered ancient Hebrew warrior with the name meaning 'Hammer' aka 'Judah the Hammer' aka 'The Hebrew Hammer'. Oddly, Seldin 'The Hebrew Hammer' fought Zab 'Judah' who so they both shared a namesake, in a way.

[@lancelot1953]

Very-well made video production BLTV Extra and I appreciate that you do offer the viewer both sides of these stories and mention some of the limitations of your documentary (when information, vintage video is/is not easily available). You stay away from sensationalism and present an objective account of what is known about these fighters. Besides their entertainment/documentary values, as a former ring-side physician (amateur boxing associations), your presentation do carry "lessons learned and/or lessons to be learned" for aspiring pugilists. Trash talk, drugs, disrespect, insults, etc. that some professionals indulge in are poor example for the younger amateur boxers to follow. Many young amateurs have/had very difficult upbringing and the efforts/work they invest in their training is grueling. Let us keep the sport clean and legitimate. Thank you again and may Peace be with you and protect our young fighters, Ciao, L (Veteran)
