you mofo...I just saw the hopkins-trinidad fight again and you know what's strange, if you know spanish you can see that when Tito is makin his entrance, he first tells someone to lower to volume on the music they are playing and then he says "ESTO NO ES NA, ES LA PRIMERA VEZ/ IT'S OK, IT'S JUST THE FIRST TIME"....What did he meant? first time that they mess up with the music? First time that they made him re-wrap his hand? First time that he's gonna loss a fight?? Hmmm... :eek:

These aren't really little-seen to those who have the channel, because they play them all the time. Check out the channel on Monday nights at least and often during the whole week.

There are some Holyfields I don't have on tape yet, though. Thanks for the post...

Same here Neils...got to get that Holyfield! Even though the quality isnt the best (regular cable is like that) theyre still classic fights, so I've been taping the hell out of them lately..lot of Marciano, Robinson, Ali, Liston, Frazier, etc....the oldie but goodies!

What's that got to do with anything...

This should be good I got some tapes waiting for them. I'm glad they are doing this because it seems everytime I do catch the classic fight series it's usually Ali-Frazier III, Ali-Foreman or Tyson-Douglas. Those are great fights to watch but I do wish they would show others more often.
