Always hoping for a posted video of Karl fighting Henry Cooper. That was his last fight and I have never seen this fight. Karl was defending his European Heavyweight Crown and lost to Sir Henry Cooper. No video of the fight has ever been posted and a Heavyweight Championship fight like this, deserves to be posted, if available. Many thanks for this posted video of two prominent European fighters of 1967. Zech also fought former Heavyweight King Sonny Liston, and gave a good account of himself until those thunderous Liston shots wore Gerhard down.
Suponiendo que Ali con su boxeo y en los medianos fuera enfrentado a Monzon igual hubiera sido neutralizado el o cualquier o otro de los considerados grandes boxeadores este tipo con ese estilo de pelea era extremadamente dificil
Bugner was a great boxer, he was British European and commonwealth champions and he had a version of the world title, australian champions. He had 83 fights with only 13 losses 1 draw he had boxed from 17 years to 49 years of age... Legend.
Avelar, a hard-punching, stalwart yet limited fighter fought nine (!) one-time champions. Slow gand defensively deficit, but always dangerous, he gave fans several great come-from-behind upset KOs against Tae Shik Kim, Shoji Oguma and Wilfredo Vasquez-all one-time Champions. The war against Shik Kim in Korea was epic. Tremendous heart recovering from a devastating one-round KO to Prudencio Cardona to go on to KO ex-champ Wilfredo Vasquez in another give-and-take war ! Avelar, unfortunately unknown here in US, was a true “fighter” in every sense of the word giving me, a long-time boxing aficionado, some of my best remembered thrills…
It ended in tragedy in the Benn fight but McClellan hit seriously hard and knew how to get maximum leverage behind his shots - thanks, at least in part, to the Kronk Gym's head trainer, the late, great Emmanuel Steward. A contest that never got out of the first round, and Mugabi hit hard too! Thanks for uploading.
En ese tiempo el que disputaba título mundial no era cualquiera tenía que ganarse ese derecho ganándole a ranqueados del uno al diez ,hoy día ni ranqueados están y pelean título mundial y se ven esas peleas aburridas y disparejas con boxeadores mediocres
