    Looking for fight film

    Hi I'm trying to track down a video of a fight I saw many years ago on the USA network (latec89s early 90s). The fight involved a young kronk fighter I'd never seen before. The fight would have been long forgotten if not for how Emanuel Steward ripped the kid a new one every time he came back to the corner. He just had it with the kid not following his instructions and he let him know it. One round he said he'd rather be somewhere having a drink than be there and not listened to. Another round he told him to find a new profession because he wasn't cut out for boxing. Anyway I've been trying to track down a video of the fight and was wondering if anyone here remembers seeing it and point me in the right direction to find it

      No they were both unknown kids. The Kronk fighter might have been having his 1st televised fight. He was so disheartened I doubt he ever fought again.

        i tried to find it but cannot as i don't have enough data to narrow it down, See google used to give thousands of pages of results for any query including blogs and social media and photos etc but decided a few years ago to only include reputable websites and 10 pages of ten results for most searches. Sorry but i tried. The net doesn't have all stuff anymore on google search and if it's not there it's not there.

          Nothing to do with Steward.

          I watched a USA fight back in the 80s. A couple of ham and eggers. The second when yelling at his fighter and was being so boorish and negative he made me cringe. At one point he threatened the fighter he wouldn't come in the ring the next round.

          After four or five rounds of this verbal abuse the fighter had enough and finally told the as*hole second 'to **** off' and don't bother coming into the ring anymore.

          The second suddenly changed his tune and got respectful real fast.

          I don't know which fight the OP is speaking of regarding Steward but it reminds me of Teddy Atlas being disrespectful to Moorer.

            reminds me of a uk seventies and eighties tv show called junior golden gloves and my friend went on it as he wanted to be a boxer or a jockey and went on it and got knocked out on the first punch after 5 seconds clean out. ah ha ha
            he quit boxing after that. all kids wanted to be on the show. i had incredible stamina and fast punches but i had no inbuilt radar to avoid been hit i just never avoided punches correctly.
            but that show all us kids talked about it.
