Joe Louis was sitting ringside at the Larry Holmes/Trevor Burbick fight which was the night before the O'Grady/Kenty bout. He looked horrible and even my Mom (a nurse) commented at the time just how bad he appeared. Louis passed away just hours later.

Sean has a great personality and his humility comes through strongly. He dethroned another wonderful sportsman too. Both of them were good ambassadors of the sport.

One of the best fight I have ever watched, beside Arguello vs Pryor, and Herns vs Hagler. Hilmer Kenty, and Sean O'Grady were two amazing warriors. What a Fight!

I agree, O'Grady beat Watt but was cheated and Pryor, Lewis Cheated Arguello, but still a great fight.

this to me was one of the best! Lightweight fights of that division during the very colourful 1980's. Man they were great fights at this weight during that 80's decade and this is very much one of them It just doesn't get Much talked about recognition. Shame.

While it was less significant, I honestly think this deserved FOTY over Leonard vs Hearns based on the action it provided.

@Odawg96 3 жыл бұрын

Smart fighting by O’Grady. He and his team went into this fight with an excellent plan! He had a devastating body attack, and he also exploited the Kronk stable’s fatal flaw: their tendency to drop the left hand to their waist. All the early Kronk guys did that...including Hearns, and it was a dangerous habit. Kenty was the Kronk prototype and first champ, and this fight exposed the weaknesses of the Kronk style. I wonder if Sugar Ray saw this fight. This was a few months before the showdown with Hearns.

I remember sometime in the mid-to-late 90s, USA Tuesday Night Fights went to Detroit for a show, and O’Grady spotted Kenty in the audience. He made it his business to go over and say hello to his “old friend Hilmer Kenty.” You woulda thought these guys were lifelong buddies!! Kenty was really happy to see him. It was all love between them, and I had to remind myself that O’Grady had beaten him for a world title. But, then again, most fighters have a great deal of respect for each other, and to be honest, O’Grady always sounded like a Kenty fanboy!😂 At the end of the day, they were two class acts.

@badchoices7152 2 жыл бұрын

I have to give Kenty some respect. He just got over sinus problems, and took more hard body shot's than I can ever remember in one fight. Sean clearly won the fight, and is just a beast. I remember him as a kid fighting, and I didn't realize Sean had 70 professional fight at 22, and won the title. I knew he was good, but ending his career 81-5 with 70 KO'S. The year he won the title he fought 4 times. The next year in 1982 he fought 5 times, then in 1983 he fought 2 time, and retired in March of that year, and he was only 24 year's old.

@jeffmejia3556 Жыл бұрын

His early retirement was a full career. 70 fights is a lot of wear and tear on the body and he’d been fighting since he was a kid. I remember a very old interview where explained his body was done. Good to see his fights on KZfaq. I remember watching this fight on regular TV with Cosell with the call.

With all due respect to Sean, a very good fighter and a worthy champion, many of those wins were over guaranteed losers. Thanks largely to Pat O'Grady.

Congratulations to you Sean O Grady. You showed resilience patience excellent communication to the body and head off the educated jabs. Timing Precision great quick reflexes to counter punch Kenty and break him down round by round. Statatem Strategy was incredible against an excellent boxer in Hilmer Kenty. O Grady Style & Skills in inside fighting doubling up on the inside multiple hooks followed by short sharp upper cuts. Well earned Victory. A real "Viking Warrior"

@rickallen8158 5 жыл бұрын

Howard Cosell needs an eye doctor, that punch that floored Kenty was on the point of the chin, that's why when he got up he was wobbly, if it had happened earlier in the round Kenty would have been knocked out!,,,

@felixramos3078 4 жыл бұрын

I was thinking exactly the same thing. No boxer looks and walked the way Kenty did, after he went down with a punch to the "chest". He got hit right on his chin. He almost lost the fight in that round. Very bad call.
