Big Fan???

Word of advice...NEVER EVER go to Legends Boxing Club...Farris is a complete joke. Thanks. And I'm not going to get whipped. I'm an old man now I know to be cautious. No Legends or anywhere else for me; the UK club meets a few hundred feet from my office and it's free, so that's why I'm willing to check them out.

That is prob what I'm thinking of then. I was watching Mercer V Holyfield and I was thinking, "Man Scully is spot on with his calls". There was another fight were that happend as well. I didn't even realize that you weren't there when the fight originally happened. Quick quesiton though. Why not run the original commentary? The rights to rebroadcast have been bought, you know. Well, I have to assume that whatever network buys the fights wants their own guys to do it. So far I have gotten nothing but good feed back, including yours, so that's real cool for me. Thanks

No I don't know any of them. A former student who is just moving downstairs from the judo training to boxing is insisting I come along and bring some hand wraps. I'll let youi know how it goes and whom I meet. Okay good luck in not getting whipped. :ugh: :p

I know a few of them anyway, when I was boxing with Richmond they would come to our meets, plus Anthony (one of their boxers) went with us to Charleston to fight. Anthony should know who I am, do you know who Anthony is? No I don't know any of them.

Red I'm going to throw a little with the UK Boxing Club tomorrow. I'll mention to the coach and fighters that I know an area teen looking for a trainer.

Actually, I am doing a lot of workwith Joe Tess for ESPN now with ESPN Classic fights. I have done quite afew in the last 2 months and have quite a few more to do. If u catch ESPN Classics you can usually hear and see one of the fights I've done That is prob what I'm thinking of then.

Actually it is not too hard for me because my job is to analyze the action and I am able to look at both guys and tell u what I think they should BOTH be doing to try and win.

If u catch ESPN Classics you can usually hear and see one of the fights I've done isnt that kinda wierd though? those are old fights, so u probably already know the outcome and remember some of the original call by the original announcers. Like i remember watching GATTI-MAYWEATHER on ESPN, and tessitore said a few lines that Lampley said, but with his own twist. AND he already knew the outcome so the suprise effect seemed very canned. Isnt that a little wierd to do for u?

See...I'm different though..I remember EVERY GUY I ever fought , where the fight was etc. So I'm used to that way of thinking

Iceman, What happen to your gig doing commentary? I can remember you on a couple of fights in and around '96 I think. I thought you did a great job.

lol. But a lot of guys do things like that. i remember lampley was recently asking MANNY STEWARD about a klitschko fight where klitschko suffered a cut, and steward immidiately thought of DAVARRLY WILLIAMSON. But lampley said, "no, no, i mean calvin brock." ANd Steward was dumbfounded for like 5 seconds, until Lampley mentioned Madison Square Garden. And THEN Steward was like, "ooooooh oh..." funny stuff. especially since brock was their last fight I don't think that was Steward forgetting the Brock fight. I think Steward did not understand the fight to have gone the way Lampley tells it. Lampley insists Wlad was rushed by his cut, Steward probably doesn't see it that way (not having had to watch on HBO as you and I did).

also, he might not be good with things like that..when I first met Zab online a few years ago I wasnt sure it was himand I quizzed him on his own amateur career and there were thigns he couldnt asnwer so I thought it might no tbe him....I met him in New Orleans, though, at Jones-Harding and it was him.he was laughing, saying "Man, I couldnt even remember allthose names you were asking me about." Some guys dont pay attention to details like that, they just like the fighters and the way they fight etc lol.

In the lights and on stage he had a moment's confusion. Also, Hagler's big fights were against guys who fought at 147, and Judah is almost too young to have watched them live. Probably he doesn't really follow Hagler, but has that as a ready name when people ask about his favorite fighters. He needs to seem respectful about history even if he doesn;t really care.

I know personally that Zab reads these forums adamently. He's a big fan of Boxingscene. He probably learned a few things from here. I know I did. uh oh................................... most people dont say very nice things about him on here.....poor guy reads all of it too.......i bet he is reading this.

Zab is a good guy (from what little I know) We used to chat on AOL and I met him a couple times.....he was different than, I think, the impression many get from him. Floyd is, too, for that matter. And Tyson REALLY is. Zab could tell you. Mike is a cool guy and a VERY GOOD historian, as good as ANYONE here on this board I think. (yeah, Zab should have checked in with Mike on the Hagler thing :)
