I miss those days when good young fighter weren’t afraid to fight each other. It seems like many of today’s boxing fans forget we are just that fans not family members or friends. I have actually seen fans argue why to great fighters should not fight each other. I’m serious I can’t make this stuff up. They go on boxing sites to argue against the good fights

One of the best left hooks I've ever seen

@charlesm7589 3 ай бұрын

McCrory dropped his right just in time for that hook to land. No disrespect to Curry, but that punch should not have landed. McCrory was a guy who looked great on the way up, but he couldn't defeat the really good fighters.

Donald curry has the best amateur record of all time. 400 wins and only 4 losses. Ok second best behind Lomas 300 wins and 1 loss. But hey I consider those two the most insane for sure.

You can barely even see that first shot watching it from a distance. Poor Milton had no chance. He was fighting and, for all he knew, the floor just came up and hit him in his back. Top Rank is cooking with all of these old fights lately.

@@MartinSmith-qt3cc Curry was an amazing in-fighter; he could stand toe to toe and not be hit. He always kept his head between his gloves until those pencil legs started to go, then you could see a lot of times on the inside, his head was getting out in front of his gloves and he got a lot of headbutts.

My favorite fighter at his all time peak! I really think on this night he would have given any welterweight in history a tough fight. Granted Milton wasnt what the magazines were touting him as back then, but he was the other champion and an undefeated fighter. Donald was damn near as perfect as you can get here.

@markdoughty8780 4 ай бұрын

I wonder how Lloyd Honeyghan would have got on in this bout, at this, time? He was British, Commonwealth, and European Welterweight Champion by this stage, and of course, some nine months later would go on to bash Curry up in Atlantic City, effectively ending his career at world level (RSF at the end of the sixth round); although, of course, Curry would go on to beat Gianfranco Rossi for the WBC Super Welterweight Title (1988). Honeyghan even stole his thunder there though, having knocked Rossi out cold in three rounds for the Europen Welterweight Title in 1985 - it took Curry ten rounds to get a technical knockout victory over Rossi. Thanks for uploading.

I'm a big Honeyghan fan but this version of Curry imo wouldve beaten him in sept 1986 For the record i think the 86 version Honeyghan outpoints any version of Starling

I remember the build up to this fight where the winner would have been considered as the heir apparent to Sugar Ray Leonard. It looked for a while that Curry was exactly that until he fought Honeyghan. McCrory never went anywhere after this fight.

The referee should have not have allowed the fight to continue after the first knockdown. McCrory was out on his feet. He said he was okay, but it was out of instinct.
