Back when you saw quality fighters and fights on Network tv. NBC Sports World,,NBC Ringside,CBS Sports Spectacular, ABC Wide World of Sports. Great Times!

If you're watching this fight I know you're hardcore boxing fan big up👍

R.I.P BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN AWAITS THIS CHAMPION. GOD BLESS

RIP Rock...you are a legend.

Rip to both Champs

I believe I watched this when it actually happened . . Early 1984, probably Saturday afternoon or thereabouts. Brings back memories . .

R.I.P. Rocky!

both of these amazing fighters have since slipped away .. RIP to you two legends ! gone but certainly not forgotten ..and if they are? yall don't know shit about boxing :)

RIP Rocky Lockridge and Roger Mayweather

FOREVER A CHAMP. RIP

Lighter weightclasses back then were great

What he deserved to be remembered for... RIP champ

I remember watching this back when you got great title fights on network TV.

RIP Rocky Lockridge, He had the best cry :(

For all you born after 1990, this is how fighters used to win championships. By actually KO ing the champ. None of this just showing up and playing Patty Cake Patty Cake Baker's Man Now Come on 3 judges Gimme the Title.

Knockout at 12:02 rip rocky, you were a amazing boxer😢😢

RIP Roger

Roger had to eat some humble pie after this. I can't believe both are gone.

Both men have now passed away.

RIP BOTH

Rest in Peace!

Lockridge said after the fight that he was surprised that Mayweather did not show more heart in an effort to get up from the knockdown........Lockridge seemed to forget that he himself was knocked out cold by Juan LaPorte in 1981.

RIP Rocky. RIP Roger.

Rocky Lockridge The man who knockout Roger Mayweather now is a Homeless

who came here after the crying meme?

I watched that fight live by myself at home. I liked Rocky as a boxer. He had class and was a good boxer in my opinion. I'd seen Mayweather box a few times before and I knew he was a badass. I figured he'd knock Rocky out pretty fast. But when I saw him coming in to the ring wearing those dark glasses and the black outfit with the skull and bones it kinda pissed me off. I didn't, and still don't, like that kind of showboating bullshit in the sport and couldn't help but want to see him get KOd, but I seriously doubted it was going to happen. When Rocky knocked him out I was stunned. I literally jump out of my chair and yelled at the TV with the crowd. This fight is still one of the most memorable I've ever watched. Roger set a trend that day that really did change boxing. I mean, look and Wilder and Fury. Both those guys were wearing ridiculous outfits when they entered the arena and climbed into the ring. Roger may not have been the very first to do that, but he was the first I saw do it and it's stuck with me. I still tend to cringe when I see boxers doing that showboating stuff. Thing about boxing is all that bullshit don't mean a thing once that bell rings. I think Roger learned that lesson that day and I'd bet that bout stuck with him too. He was a great boxer, and a great trainer, who earned my respect long before he retired his gloves and started training. I'm going to miss him.

damn rocky is a homless man now in nj

arguably Marv’s greatest call

The TV announcers and you KZfaq commenters blindly miss that Rocky devastates Roger with a right hand to the solar plexus first. Terrible job

Those 2 body blows before the knockout!

RIP Champ!

R I P ROCKY

He KO'd him with an elbow! This should be a no-contest! Watch the punch again!

RIP Rocky

some dude was messing with him when he was on the streets not knowing who it was and Rocky iced the guy with 1 punch just like that

Julio Cesar Chavez defeated both on championship fights. Mayweather twice and Lockridge once.

2 good people.

Stunning KO by Lockridge. Mayweather was regarded as the future star but got spectacularly derailed here. I think he fought the wrong fight and didn't use his reach advantage at all. He went on to have a good career though and was probably the best fighter at light-welterweight for a couple of years. He seemed to get more durable as he moved up in weight too. Lockridge was an underrated fighter with a strong punch. Listening to the end of this telecast he was studying at junior college and was a family man with a clean image. Sadly after his career finished he walked out on his family and went missing, ending up homeless. Seemed like he had it all together but who knows really, I guess? He died last year. Makes me think if it was the effects of his boxing career that caused him to go off the rails and undergo a change in personality? He had a lot of hard fights against the best around. He seemed a bright guy and didn't appear the type who'd fall apart post-boxing. Roger Mayweather also died earlier this year. He seemed a good guy and appeared to adapt to the end of his career a lot better than Rocky. He also had a lot of tough fights against strong opposition.

Rocky did not like getting hit low very much.

Respect.

Floyd had just turned 7 years old 2 days before this fight.

"like I said before"....lol now we know where Floyd Jr. got that from....

RIP! Greatest boxer of all time! Muhammad Ali would have lost before 90 seconds against Roger! Roger would have made Mike Tyson cry! Floyd Mayweather would have last 5 seconds tops!

Fight starts at time mark 10 minutes.

I hate seeing a former champion... like this.......if I had all the money that some people make and don't deserve it because there assail fuckin assholes ..I would help him...somebody who has the means please help rocky lockridge great champion ..god bless you....

RIP Champ

RIP

Still keeping his 'hand' in though as a recent video of him knocking some brash young punk out shows.

Rip rocky

Marv was the perfect sports voice

Should have called himself the Fake Mamba

One nil to Lou Duva but Roger would get him (and Vinny Paz) four years later in Vegas.

I think rodger got up at 9 sec

Bob Costas looks exactly the same today.

Rocky was wasted out of his mind

I would like to know if this is my fam cuz I'm a Lockridge to

15 rounds mmhnn, now I do understand

Floyd for no chin so if PAC catches him flush he's done..

Wshh brought me here

Hey Marv do you wear your hair to bed?

pacman and floyd would be exactly the same,with pacman k'oing floyd.

RIP Champ

RIP
