Donating the proceeds to Doyle's mother/family says alot about him. What an honorable man

Ray Robinson's premonition is one of the scariest things in boxing history. Holy-!!!

Someone once said something along the lines of: "Imagine how corrupt you think boxing can possibly be. The truth is, it's actually much worse."

That Robinson premonition is a powerful reminder we can all have a sort of look into the future under the right conditions.

great list, as a boxing historian, it's truly sickening how much shady shit has happened in the sport. Off the top of my head, I would add Arturo Gatti and Macho Camacho's murders, and Max Kellerman's brother being murdered by Butler with a hammer. Crazy stuff.

Resto not only had padding removed from his gloves but he also covered his hand wraps in plaster. Collins basically was getting hit with concrete fists!!

Joe Bugner, known as Aussie Joe, was often derided for not having a big punch for such a big skilful boxer. Few know that early in his career one of his opponents died after the fight. Joe had the big punch, but he never again used his full power.

Billy Collins Jr was a tough tough man to take such a beating bare knuckle for all those rounds. I believe with that kind of chin and talent he would have been more than just a serious contender, a lot more.

Biggest tragedy ever. Resto vs Collins. Padding removed from gloves. Panama lewis is a horrible human being.

Great upload, most of these I knew of already being a hard-core boxing fan....... Unfortunately it's so many negative stories that can be told about boxing and the cover-ups that will probably never be brought to light. Thanks for shedding some light on the sport I love even though it wasn't the most positive ✌🏽

I'm a bit of a boxing fan and yet I never once saw that interview with Robinson about his premonition wow! Great stuff, thank you

As a 6 year old settling in to watch the fight I asked my Dad " Has anyone ever been killed in a fight" He replied "It happens, but it is extremely rare" And then we watched Grifith beat to death Benny 'The Kid " Paret As a fan I watched live when Resto and Collins fought. And was perceptive enough to be puzzled as to why Resto's punches seemed so much more damaging than Collins And I watched Ray Mancini beat to death his opponent. At that time I was a fighter and yes, it affected my next fight as the ref gave me a quick standing 8 count for a couple light blows

Luis Resto dipped his wraps in plaster. You forgot to add that part. That's why Billy Collins' face looked the way it did.

If you look at the rankings today, you can say they’re still getting paid off

The background music definitely added a ton of tension for me

This is so well made! Didn’t even realise 26 minutes had passed

I never knew the Sugar Ray story man that’s deep! I have those premonitions sometimes as well. I never seem to listen all the time and I’ve lived to regret it every time.

I agree with Ali about Robinson being the goat. That Jimmy Doyle story is eerie.

How in THE WORLD has Don King not lost his right to work with boxers???

Man your videos is truly amazing. I really appreciate your hard work, your videos always make my day better.

Corruption always in boxing 🥊 and politics never end.

Yeah well you can't take anything away from George Foreman he was a beast

What a great video!!! Thansk for the content , we'll put

Fantastic video. Thank u

Good video, spot on with everything.

Thank you for the video, very impressive

Just subscribed after this brilliant insightful video thank you for uploading

Extremely interesting video, some things here came out that not everybody even in boxing circles know probably. Some real eye openers here, no doubt. Thanks for this.

When Leonardwas given the decision over Hagler I threw my hands up in the air and quit watching boxing. Just too many bad decision. When Tyson replaced Kevin Rooney as his trained as required by Don King he got rid of the best trainer in boxing, lost to Buster Douglas and destroyed his career.

I felt so sorry for Kim Duk-koo and his mother. May they rest in peace.

I hate how much Mike Tyson got screwed over. It's really such a messed up thing because Mike really is a good guy and Don King and his 1st wife took Soo much from Mike and really took a toll on him internally and professionally

Great video, just wish it was longer. Can you please make a part 2! Unfortunately, we know there’s no shortage of dark moments in boxing history.

And that's the ones we no about can you imagine what else has been going on in the world of boxing it's been always a fixed sport and it never will change

Corruption is worse then it’s ever been these days

18:00 See how fast Don King stops smiling…

Sugar ray and Tyson Fury both talk of their dreams/ premonitions before the fights do we dream it into happening or is something higher than ourselves warning us

Way to go Mike!

I saw the Griffith fight live on TV in 1962. I was 11. My father and grandfather were watching the fight.

Maybe the greatest cameo role in the history of motion pictures was don kings appearance in The Devils Advocate. Don King sitting with Al Pacino who was playing the devil.

Thanks For Your Sharing

Excellent

what about Manny Pacquiao "breaking" his hand just before the fight with Mayweather?

This is hi risk high pay. It is really sad but that's just the way it is the head was not meant to be hit by a fist. God bless all our fallen 🙏🙏🙏 boxers.

Wait a minute - What about my boy Roy Jones Jr getting robbed at the Olympics??? It doesn't get more polarizing than that!

Good video and narration

brilliant video

Pro sports is purely entertainment and nothing else. When you understand this, it all makes sense. All sports are fixed.

great show

Great video

Wow.. This was unexpected!! I never knew this.thus.. real Boxing History 🥊💎💯

Thanks for making this video. I wish there will be a part 2 to cover G Man vs Nigel Benn. And Chris Eubanks vs Micheal Watson. Tragic endings to both fights

a very good video man.

The voice is killing me !😂😂

Collins Snr suspected the gloves had been tampered with that's why he grabbed them the handshake was an excuse to grab them.

i was thinking that i mustve seen this a while ago because i know of everything on here. but its not long been uploaded..... dayumn I'm more of a boxing nerd than I realised! great video anyway. Hope you're all well and good.

You missed one Alexis Arguillo vs Arron Paryor...just watch the fight. His trainer spiked his water bottle with speed.

Don king is like the phil spector of the boxing industry,Rip Don King, Rest In Piss..

you make such good content, can you make a video on dwight muhammad qawi, that would be a good watch!

Everyone knows about the 2 fights between Ali/Liston. Some still argue that the 2nd fight was legitimate. It wasn't, even a casual fan knows better. The controversy began regarding whether or not the punch landed that floored Liston. After a replay proved it did land, many people went from doubt about the punch landing to believing it was a real fight. The truth is that the punch landed but it could never have knocked Liston down. He was hit by bombs to the face from a young Cleveland Williams and he went nowhere. He had a bloody nose proving he was hit hard, but he walked thru those bombs and KO'D Williams in 3 rounds, then in 2 rounds in the rematch. Ali fans say that Liston went down from the punch and stayed down to avoid another beating like he took in the first fight. That's absurd, the light tap wouldn't have put Liston down and Liston had no reason to ' fear another beating' because their first fight was also fixed. Most don't believe that the 1st fight was fixed but they're wrong. An astute fan can plainly see Liston punching too late, pulling punches, holding wide open shots to the head, throwing a high number of body shots that can easily be held without scrutiny. In the 3rd round alone Liston started his right hand forward on 2 separate occasions, then held it back, switching to a light body shot each time. He had Ali cornered in that round but let him walk out. He held back an overhand right when Ali was wide open, dropping the punch softly as if a parachute was on his arm. Once Ali bent over at the waist in front of Liston, using both gloves to cover the side of his head. Ali didn't try to move, he resigned himself to being hit hard. Liston towered over him, but he never threw a power shot. Instead, he threw a soft body shot. These examples all took place in the 3rd round. The same thing played out in the other rounds. Proof of sorts can be seen in the last round before Sonny quit. No fighter has ever surrendered a world title sitting on his chair in the corner, it's important to know that. A tough guy like Liston was the last man that would have done that, unless there were unknown circumstances. Watch the last 45 seconds of the last round in their first fight. Ali is not being aggressive; he's not pressuring Liston at all. Liston threw 6 punches in those last 45 seconds. He threw 5 jabs and one left hook, all with his left hand. The round ended and within a few seconds Liston had decided that he was going to quit. The question is; why would a man with a shoulder injury so bad that it forced him to give up the championship that he chased for several years, throw 6 punches all with his left when he had no reason to throw any punches with his left in the last 45 seconds of the last round? There's no answer to that question, a badly hurt/damaged shoulder would prevent any fighter from using it if he could avoid using it. Liston used it freely throwing 6 punches, including a big left hook, then within seconds he quit. He never showed any discomfort in that shoulder at any time during the fight. There's other evidence as well. The FBI watched boxing closely in those days because cheating was rampant. Agents were assigned to the first Ali/Liston fight in Miami, 1964. The result of their investigation wasn't known until the Washington Post issued a FOIA request only about 10 years ago. They obtained the resulting FBI report. It said that they believed unanimously that the fight was fixed but couldn't bring charges because of a lack of hard evidence. There's more evidence to indicate a fix but I won't go into it. The fixed fights you don't know about; Ali had one more fixed fight. It was against Zora Folley and was the last fight before his forced retirement/suspension. I knew something was wrong after watching a few rounds. They circled each other too passively, neither seemed interested in punching. When they did punch it seemed controlled. At one point they were so close they almost rubbed against each other, yet neither threw a punch. Ali threw a right hand that hit Folley, then another that either barely grazed or completely missed. Folley hesitated after the first right, then went down after the 2nd right even though it didn't land. He ' caught' himself to break his fall as he landed on the mat. Then he lay flat and didn't move. At about 6 he jumped to a squatting position, whirled around to look at his trainer, then quickly jumped to his feet at the count of 8/9. It was as if he needed his trainer to tell him to get up. The next round Folley went down again. When he tried to get up he did a strange tumbling act all the way across the ring to a corner, then stood up. By then the referee had counted him out. He stood motionless staring at the referee, not complaining at all, just staring at him, then looking at his corner as if unsure what to do next. Neither of the punches that put him down were hard enough to knock down a good HW fighter. Look at the first knockdown, you'll see a right hand followed by another right hand. Neither was a hard shot and Folley went down after the 2nd punch, a punch that either missed or barely grazed his cheek. Watch in slow motion and you'll see the 2nd punch did not land, or not solidly for sure. For me what happened right after the fight was the most telling aspect. Ali quickly went over to Folley and put his arm around Folley's neck. He walked Folley to the ropes and stayed right there for longer than you would expect. Finally, he let go of Folley and Zora disappeared from the ring in the blink of an eye. He wasn't hurt so why was there no interview in the ring, which is mandatory I believe? Nobody said a word to Folley, not even his own people. Ali was ' guarding' him from everyone. Why? Because the fight was fixed and it was feared that Folley, a soft- spoken guy not interviewed very often, might say something wrong and 'spill the beans'. There has to be a reason if a fight was fixed. Ali fans will say there was no reason, that Ali would have beaten Folley easily. They're not taking into account what was at stake, however. Ali knew this was his last fight before suspension, that was a fact. It wasn't known if he would ever be allowed to fight again, that's also a fact. If Ali had a chance to fight again, he would need all the leverage he could get to bargain with. That leverage depended upon one thing; Ali had to remain an undefeated champion of the world, only dethroned by circumstances. Let's say that Ali lost his last fight to Folley. What leverage would he have as a once-beaten ex-champion? Very little. The leverage depended upon him remaining undefeated and remaining the 'peoples champion'. The people, at some point, would likely insist that he be allowed to fight again to prove if he's still the unbeatable champ,..........or not. It boiled down to that there was too much to risk. Ali's die-hard fans think he would have beaten Folley easily, therefore no reason to fix the fight. I say nonsense, Folley was 79-6 at the time, had won 10 fights in a row, 4 of those against tough opponents. He had been ranked in the top 3 or 4 for a decade and he had a decent punch. It was no sure thing that Ali could beat Folley, not with so much at stake especially. Ali would have been the favorite of course and probably would have won but he needed more than that. He needed a guaranteed win, and there's only one way to get that. Ali wasn't going to be himself either, if you think about it. His suspension was hanging over his head, his boxing career was in jeopardy, he was even being threatened with time in prison. Any man would have difficulty training hard and difficulty concentrating during the fight with these things on his mind. It made good sense to fix the fight and since Folley was willing and probably paid a handsome bonus to go along, they did indeed fix the fight. It guaranteed that Ali maintained the leverage he would need if he was ever going to fight again. There was a lot at risk. Ali needed a sure thing so he chose not to take that risk.................... Tyson had many fixed fights but this is already too long so I'll spare you those stories. I'll only say it's very interesting how Tyson's fights with Holyfield had something to do with fixed fights, and it all makes perfect sense. I'll make another post re: Tyson's fixed fights.

Out of all of them. Mosely was honest. That I can forgive. Mosely is still a great man.

Should have mentioned James Butler who sucker punched his opponent when he went to shake his hand at the end of the fight. After being released from prison boxing commentator Max Kellerman's brother decided to house and help him and was rewarded by being beaten to death with a hammer.

If possible a Truthful bio on Sonny Liston . Alot of faked stories abound but that Mystery punch from Clay is questionable. He threw that fight and died for his actions. I believe your an Honorable reporter and will do it justice. Thanks for hearing me out.

Awesome video brother

90% of them are fixed. It's ridiculous that people think they're watching real shit . 😒

This sh!t hit's HARD! Like the John Wayne's Impossible Groove Machine! 😁😆😅😂😂🤣

Great video insights to the corrupt boxing world

Edwin Valero walked to the front of his hotel and told them his wife was dead pretty sure he stabbed her if i remember right I've never heard this version of the story

You should have put the murder of Arturo Gotti in there.

Nice.

Sugar Ray was a bad ass AND a CLASS ACT!!!! JUST LIKE ALI. How many fighters nowadays woulda done what he did with his prize money, giving it to his opponents mother are you kiddin me. Wow what a gentleman

You forgot (or didn’t know) Bob arum is on camera admitting to trying to give fights to a legally blind billy Collin.

Rich the fight historian get any credit for the stuff you stole from him for this video ?

He called Don King evil. The whole sport has been crooked from the beginning way before a Don King came along! Sad....

Sugar ray Robinson seen the future in a dream, I think we all see the future in dreams.

The referee should have checked the gloves like all referees do when the match starts on the fighter who's padding was took out of the gloves

Bob arum is just as crooked as don King

I am a huge boxing fan. I grew up watching Muhammad Ali Sphinx Tyson all the greats. And donating his purse to this man's mother to buy home sugary proves he's the greatest and that's it!!

My dad worked one of sugar rays fight in Detroit. I believe he said that sugar paid him $50 bucks, real good money for a part time job.

It's not a dark secret knowing how corrupt boxing is

Sugar ray Robinson is the best to lace a pair up 🥊

184. 109. Those numbers are insane, and from the Tyson era. Props Subd

Absolutely I did exactly the same thing I have never any replays ever

I always forget how to spell his name but what happened to Valero was so sad. It was obviously a setup. Valero had a good heart and was at one time becoming the best in the world.

Great vid.

Wow what a dream and then the donation great story

since you say Don King is evil, who else is evil, since you seem to know, certainly there is more than one evil person in boxing

Shane Mahhz Lee

King is awesome

After seeing this video feeling bad being boxing lover 😭

Resto had plaster casts on too.

The resto story is so sad . HBO did a terrific documentary about it . It was so obvious Panama masterminded the entire thing and he went on with his life and career while luis was derailed .in the documentary luis goes to Miami to speak to Panama this was about a year before Panama died and he asked him just be honest and just admit the truth just so Louie would have peace of mind and the world would know. Statue of limitations were over so he wouldn't of even got in trouble for admitting it but Panama still denied it. He was manipulating luis by telling him he would get him a job and saying he's like a son to him

Boxing is bent like a banana Nuff said Do not believe anything that you’re here and believe half of what you see

These criminals may live a life of luxury, but they will burn in hell for eternity.

Bought his opponents mom a house and donated everything he won off the fight to that poor mother.. Dudes a class act.

Best thing about this video: the narrator desperatly trying to sound gritty and dark, and failing hard at it :))

Yeah they used to call it the stinger in my day. They don't let you use that no more

Rip collins

An overlooked case that i expected to see here, and no one mentioned about it... is the tragedy of Prichard Colon

Where is the footage of the sugar ray Robinson talking about the situation I want to see it

Holy shit...he dreamed it and it happened. Wtf
