forgotten fights on telly

[Bodyshot3]

Mimmy on British and Irish forum is uploading nearly 200 boxing tapes from that era - some real gems in there, I'd give his thread a gander and if you ask him he may well have the fights; I've been really impressed, he's got some collection.

Cheers Palooka! I am over heading over to Mimmy's Oasis.

There's a good deal of Gary Jacobs posted on You Tube and it was nice to be reminded about what a blood and thunder fighter 'Kid' Jacobs was for a while. Lots of 'what if' and 'nearly' stuff with Jacobs I think; just a wee bit quicker to pull the trigger and more willing to slip a punch and it could have been a much bigger and better story. I do miss fighters like that.

A couple of other early Joe Bugner fights that were shown on BBC One were

Bugner vrs Mose Harrel(June 1969)
Bugner vs Roberto Davila(Feb 1970)

I remember bugner versus bepi ross a couple of years later - or am I dreaming?
