Mylon Watkins Vs. Rod Douglas

hi i know this is an old post but worth a shot. i was just wondering if anyone knows where i can get all rod douglas's fights to buy or download as hes my father and he doesnt have them

I Just Talked To Breland And He Doesn't Remember Barkley Being There At The 1982 Worlds. He Is Pretty Sure It Was Virgil Hill At 165. I Dont Ever Remeber Barkley Even Being Top 10 Amateur Let Alone Being In The Worlds. Also Reggie Johnson Told Me He Never Fought In The Ohio State Fair

YOUR INFO is wrong..Iran Barkley never went to the world championships as an amateur boxer. Iran was not an elite world class amateur. Yes this is true but Iran was undoubtedly one of the premier burglars (both professional and amatuer) of his time...He was the best!

That site you got them from is WRONG..and let me tell you...I won the OHIO FAIR in 1987...you dont get AN INVITE to fight someone there. I also have the results section in magazine that cameout that month with a full story on 17 year old tyson and it has the results in it...Johnson and Eubanks are not there. Besides... Reggie himself told me he did NOT fight at the Fair

WELL.....I just talked to Reggie Johnson himself and he toldme not only did he never fight Eubank at the OHIO STATE FAIR but that he himself never evenfought at the Fair, period. So i dont know where yuo guys are getting some of this amateur info but itis wrong. i just asked Breland if Barkely fought with him at the world championships and he said he didnt remember Barkely even being there let alone winning a medal. I am still going to check further on that one, though. Dennis Milton 1983 Aug 12 * invited to fight Reggie Johnson but pulls out at last minute of Ohio State Fair Invitational and replaced by stablemate Chris Eubanks 1983 Aug 27 ?? (defeated Reggie Johnson in final) US National Under-19 Winner 156 lbs. ?

thats very weird. i have a lot of amateur ranking books from back then and barkley isnt rated in the top 10 and at that time, as now, to make the world championships you have to be the best guy in the united states and barkley was never that. i have no idea how he could have even qualified but i am going to investigate. i am going to hear back from reggie johnson on the other thing. we'll see. as for mylon watkins, so you know, mylon was a top of the line u.s. amateur. he got stopped by mark brelandin the 1984 olympic trials but then went on and won the national golden gloves afterwards severaltimes. he may have went to olympicsin 88 but in 86 he got indefinitely suspended from usa boxing due to a violation that happened on an international trip he was on

Eubank was asked on his messageboard about his amateur days and heres some things he said when asked questions What I achieved as an amateur boxer was the Spanish Golden Gloves title. Chris Same as the Golden Gloves, but Spanish. Yes it's true that I reached the semi-finals of the US National Golden Gloves in 1984.I don't remember the name of the guy who beat me Don't remember any of the names of the guys who beat me, sorry

Claw... YOUR INFO is wrong..Iran Barkley never went to the world championships as an amateur boxer. Iran was not an elite world class amateur.

JUY JUY.. I am going to ask Reggie Johnson tomorrow if he ever fought Eubank. ICE

Eubank was a bum, pathetic poser with no heart. amen to that, brother.

Eubank was a bum, pathetic poser with no heart.

Interesting stuff, Johnson and Milton had already fought that year - http://www.boxing-records.com/palm/voirpalmaf.phtml?boxeur=johnsore.html

Totally agree with that, there's NOBODY who would beat a peak Eubank over a few short rounds. Not Leonard or Hagler, not Jones Jr or McClellan, not even Sugar Ray Robinson. ... your a fucking imbecile.

Nice Patrick Ford article, click here: http://disc.server.com/discussion.cgi?disc=128860;article=3558;title=CARIB-SPORT%20discussion%20Forum

ClawofTiger, Maximo Pierret wasn't an Eddie Futch pupil at all,all Maximo Pierret was is the guy who got Eubank started in boxing. Pierret worked at the Jerome gym as an assistant thats all. Eubank wanted to learn how to defend himself because like you say he was very outspoken and stood up for himself but couldn't afford the joining cost of the Jerome gym so he worked as a cleaner there until Pierret persuaded them to let him join in. Pierret had also been giving Eubank boxing sessions in private because he felt sorry for him before they let Eubank join in at Jerome. When Eubank turned pro he let Pierret work in his corner along with Eddie Futch pupil Patrick Ford as a mark of loyalty to Pierret I guess,he hadn't seen him for over two years but invited him to work in his corner for his first five pro fights because he was grateful that Pierret got him started. But Patrick Ford was Eubank's only trainer when he won the Spanish Golden Glove Championship and started his pro career in America. Eubank didn't see Pierret for over six years after returning to the UK,that was before inviting Pierret to work in his corner again for the Benn rematch then keeping Pierret in his corner for the rest of his career out of gratitude because it was Pierret who had got him started. Eubank's trainer in the UK in 1988 and 1989 was Freddy King,then Brendan Ingle was going to become Eubank's trainer but Eubank refused to learn switch-hitting and didn't like doing body sparring so Ingle hooked up Eubank with a friend of his called Ronnie Davies in 1990. Ronnie Davies was Eubank's main trainer from 1990 to 1995 so he was Eubank's main trainer throughout the main part of his boxing life. Eubank sacked Davies after the first loss to Collins for no apparent reason. Dennis Andries and Pierret worked in Eubank's corner for the rest of his fights of his career after Davies was sacked,although Eubank had no trainer at all then and just trained himself. O.K dude calm down, it was only a slight mistake ..

Holy fucking shit! Great info dude, I'll use that shit thanks. Eubank had a good friend who was into martial arts and he claims to have developed some of his style like his weight distribution from martial arts.
