Just watched Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Kennedy McKinney...

nothing gets better only worse Nothing? Life isn’t that bad, brother lol

:lol1: That was a golden age for HBO Boxing nothing gets better only worse

I remember this fight. This was the premier of HBO boxing after dark? I think you’re right. That show was amazing in the 90’s.

The tricks are what it's all about, man. Your kids have one cool dad. Hopefully they listen. Hehe. Lol thanks man! I feel like a lame though, my friends & family are headed to the river & im going to be at the park, track, & gym all weekend. Summer Basketball season starts next week (& im coach), we have a show at a local gym next sunday, & my oldest had baseball camp coming up for HS.

boxing fan say you? :lol1: That was a golden age for HBO Boxing

Saw it live on HBO's first Boxing After Dark show. The prelim was Johnny Tapia against that dude who tried to milk a low blow. That was disappointing but the main event made up for it tenfold! McKinney gave him a hell of a fight and even scored his own KD, but Barrera was just too much. Marco showed his potential that night. He'd stepped up and passed the test. Great win for the Mexican icon! McKinneys jab and right cross was a beautiful sight. Seen a couple nice tricks from both guys that im going to teach my kids this long weekend.

I still have my ticket stub from that night at the Forum! $40 got you floor seats! Lol $40 can barely get u a nose bleed nowadays...

Thank you for reminding of this fight, would never forget it. Amazing fight from both fighters. Both took a lot of damage in their meeting.

I'll give this a watch later. Never have seen this fight :beerchug: Awesome fight you'll dig it

What a great fight! The animosity due to the prefight brawl made this great too!! & the 6th rd was an epic round, (starts at 22mins and 30secs)!!! McKinney had a helluva right cross, problem was he tried to exchange it with Barreras. Great technical brawl if you haven't seen it. Barreras slip counters are textbook.

Great fight. Barrera was looking unbeatable until he hooked up with Jr Jones a few fights later. Jones beat Barrera twice and in his next fight Jr. got KO'd by McKinney. That's boxing for you.

yes that is what I mean from the 70' to the 90's had the best fighters and fights. Great era for sure. The fights at the old Olympic Auditorium alone were so priceless back in the days of 3-strand ropes and 15 rounders. Freaking Olivares, Lopez, Chacon, Limon, Arguello etc at 126. So good Ruben Castillo couldn't win a belt .

Great fight. Oddly enough, MAB lost to Junior Jones and Kennedy beat JJ. Jr Jones then got smashed by Erik Morales.

Well, there were FIFTEEN ROUNDERS that looked like that . Or scheduled for 15 that ended after the 12th round. Arguello vs Olivares come to mind. Little Red Lopez vs Ayala come to mind. Limon-Chacon final one come to mind. Suringvisai vs Chocolatito 1 was a good brawl. yes that is what I mean from the 70' to the 90's had the best fighters and fights.

the Irish guy fought good and had a ton of heart. the messican looked smaller but barerra was some fighter. he took bombs from a bigger guy and still destroyed him. I watched it live and you will never see fights like that today those divisions was stacked with HOF fighters Well, there were FIFTEEN ROUNDERS that looked like that .

Well, Morales had a horrible diet. But, the dude was a freaking monster at 122-126 even if he looked like a prisoner on weigh in days. Yeah, too many monsters then . Hamed couldn't even get to the next level. That was the greatest 122-130 era in history, I think people are only starting to wake up to that fact. Hamed was in a similar position to Wilfred Benitez during the four horseman era. HOF'er in an era with several ATG's....Barrera, Morales, Marquez, and Pac are all ATG's.
