The last ever Boxing match on HBO was broadcast on Dec 8 2018. This is the beautiful sendoff, now in 4K, with tearful goodbyes from Jim Lampley, Roy Jones Jr., and Max Kellerman - and an EPIC history recap of the biggest moments in HBO Boxing history. Unlike my original low-quality upload, this has been upscaled to 4k using Topaz Video Enhance AI, from the original 1080i source.
This also includes an interview with Larry Merchant.

Hope you guys like it, it was quite painful to download the 22GB cap at 100Kb/s and then upscale it at 0,8 fps, but I think the results were worth it!

@PiggieSmall 2 года назад

Thank you. Great job. As a 50 year old, my childhood was filled with watching legend after legend on HBO. Some of my earliest memories are of watching boxing. Many of these memories were saved through VHS, then moved to DVD, now to digital hdd. I remember witnessing live the incredible (Gatti-Ward), the controversial (Chavez-Taylor & Starling-Molinares), the storm (Tyson) and the wacky (Fan Man in Holyfield-Bowe 2).....amongst hundreds of other moments. There was just something about the feeling HBO Boxing brought that no other network could bring.

Just came here after Showtime's final boxing telecast last night and all the raw emotions of watching those fights on both networks during the 80's, 90's and 2000's came flooding back as they did 5 years ago when this HBO event took place. If you haven't seen the Showtime send off, check it out. Always the best of times, boxing and beer with my Dad on Saturday nights.

@gabrielvazquez1691 Год назад

This wasn’t just saying goodbye. This was saying thank you, to all who walked the journey inside the ring, just outside in the stands, and all who tuned in. This wasn’t just a broadcast event, this was a show, and this was as close as we can get to hearing the author narrating the last chapter to end the tale.

@pcs56 Год назад

Gatti/Ward and Corrales/Castillo will never be topped. There is no way a referee would ever let any fight continue the way theirs did. RIP, Arturo and Diego. We miss you and what you brought to the ring.

@A_Time_To_Tell Год назад

HBO Boxing will return. no one did it better then HBO. I wish Lampley, Merchant, Al Bernstein & Colonel Bob Sheridan could team up one day for a telecast. Can you imaging what that would be like? Merchant as usual would give boxing analogies, Bernstein giving the facts, Colonel Bob calling the blow by blow action with Lampley... Wow what a dream.

@thelaststarfighter1984 Год назад

What I loved most about the HBO broadcast were the respectful tributes paid to the boxers or colleagues (like Artie Curry, Emmanuel Steward, etc) to name a few. To this day, it’s that raw, unfiltered emotion that made those HBO fights so memorable. Thanks for the memories - truly cherished from a lifelong boxing fan!!!

This was the unparalleled pinnacle of sports coverage. FUCK DAZN, SHOWTIME,l etc. How dare they challenge us with their primitive skills

@garretindall2820 9 месяцев назад

To be honest, HBO BOXING is and always has been my favorite to watch. The way they broke down fights, the stats during the rounds, the pre-fight meetings the were talked about during the fight, the questions after the fights, just everything. Jim Lamply, Larry Merchant, Max Kellerman, Roy Jones, Lennox Lewis, George Forman, Bernard Hopkins, Andre Ward and the Late Great Emanuel Stewart, AND the Late Great Harold Letterman. Everyone was on point. When HBO BOXING left boxing wasn't the same for me. THANK HBO BOXING 🥊💪🏽🖤❤️‍🔥🔥🙏🏽🥀

Such great memories of watching HBO boxing as well as the USA Network’s Tuesday Night Fights as a kid. My family, and particularly my dad, were big boxing fans. We knew all the good fighters. Dad is gone now, boxing has waned in popularity. I can’t get excited for even the big fights now. Something isn’t the same. But for a while, particularly in the 90’s, it was king. RIP dad and RIP HBO boxing.

@ShotgunSandwichENT Год назад

Has nothing to do with that. Boxing just gradually started fading as a mainstream sport in the early 2000s. UFC had a lot to do with that. As well as fighters trying to replicate the whole Mayweather blue print without having earned it. This year has been pretty good. But I sorely miss the hood old days of the sport
