excellent HL by damien/fritenite.
the entire middle portion of the video has got some weird boxing moments that are hilarious. there are also a good amount of KO's that normally aren't embedded in most other boxing vids on youtube. well worth the watch if you're looking for something new, and some clips you may not have seen before (as far as net uploads go).
I believe that the first guy that got knocked out was actually killed or died from that fight.I forgot his name but he fought Zarate in that fight. He was either Welsh or Irish.
It was Lupe Pintor vs Johnny Owens, Owens did pass from severe head trauma. I was kinda shocked to see that on there.
I don't remember seeing the fight but i read about. The fight that I do remember watching was Mancini killing the Korean dude. In the the Koreans room they found written in his room "Kill or be Killed"
At what time do they show that exactly? Just to take a closer look.
lol, and check out 8:38, talk about overacting. that body shot reaction puts de la hoya to shame!
That's some of the funniest shit i've ever seen.It's like his body is going through a metamorphosis kinda like Mr.Jeckyll and Hyde.
Nevermind, Johnny Owen is his name. http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=2234
Yeah, you beat me to it he was from Wales. I have to correct myself the guy that killed Owen was Lupe Pintor not Carlos Zarate. My BAD!
After
Pintor’s blows were never established as the cause of death; the tragic event was purely an accident that could have happened at any time due to the delicate nature of the challengers skull (this was in the days before brain scans became compulsory). Owen’s family, far from blaming the World Champion, telegraphed him shortly after their loss and encouraged him to go on fighting. Twenty years later, a memorial to Johnny Owen was unveiled in Merthyr Tydfil. At the request of the late fighter's father, the unveiling was performed by Lupe Pintor.
Owen, whom it transpired had an unusually delicate skull, never regained consciousness and, despite extensive surgery, slipped into a coma. He was pronounced dead on November 4, 1980, aged twenty-four.
:no:
