Boxing in B&W

[Squabbles94806]

Just recently i'm starting to watch more B&W boxing matches. You know, all the old school fights. Their style is completely different from todays. Obviously, they have more technique today, but back then that ***** is fcukin brutal.

Boxing back when was still organized and profitable. They went rounds for days. When i watch the old tapes, i'm studying their style. If you notice, a lot of old school fighters were looking for that one punch.

SRR vs. Jake Lamotta VI is a good one. I dig SRR's style. Especially for the 1940s. Out of the B&W old school fighters i dig: SRR, LaMotta, Jack Dempsey, ALI (when he was Cassius Clay in the 60s) Louis was aiite and that other fellow... something with a B...Carmen "B" something.

Thank you....Basillio...Yeah he had some fight in him. Who's he beat? SRR right?

That was a good one.

Galeto? Heard of him, never seen him in action.

Galento was a 250 pound tubby guy from back in the 40s who hit hard and was tough. Joe Louis actually LIFTED him off the canvas with a punch.

actually, it don't look like i'm familiar with Galletno. But if i watch Joe's fights, i'll probably run into it.

A few weeks ago i was on my SRR hype. Yo, he was really dope. I think he's up there as one of the greatest. I hella dig his fighting style.

A classic boxer who could also stand and slug it out. He was a good fella.

You're talkin about SRR yes? I don't know too much about his background outside of the ring and i'm slowly putting his career together. All i know is that he had over 100 fight and killed a man in the ring. Ever hear that?

I'm not really a Marciano fan per se, but Rocky vs. Jersey Joe Walcott is obviously a classic.

What do you guys think of Ezzard Charles?

What do you guys think of Ezzard Charles?

Arguably he greatest lightheavy ever. arguably among the best top 10 p4p fighters ever. His skills were undeniable and his career and resume speak volumes.
