excellent! What a find thanks for that.

[Broncano]

Young Larry finding out how fatal a lazy jab can be.

Makes you think about these fighters nowadays with limited amateur background.

[Flump]

The way I'd heard some reports of the Bobick fight made it sound like Holmes was almost a coward, crawling his way out of the ring and other nonsense. Just re-emphasises how a great amateur career can often mean absolutely nothing in the pro game. Tillman - Tyson springing to mind.

Did anybody see Larry beat Rodney Bobick? The ropes were so loose that I though somone was going to fall out of the ring.

Larry said he didn't like being "pushed in the ring" with a fighter that much heavier...I didn't realize how strict amateur rules are... If the "holding" rules were applied to the pros every other match would end in a disqualification...
