Thanks -- watched this the other day. Who is the interviewer?

bigfights(espn now ) has berbick/green but quality is fair at best

Does that mean it will be broadcast on television, Energie?

A similar fight of that era, mysteriously missing throughout the 1990s VHS trade days (at least as far as I could look), is David Bey's defence of the USBA title versus Trevor Berbick. That's surfaced recently on YouTube, although in poor quality.

It was from the undercard of Pinky/Weaver, so HBO have a pristine copy lurking somewhere in their dusty, neglected archives.

Do you have a link? How can we view this?

email [email protected] ask for berbick/green .....its $4 per minute of footage by the way if you can afford it

Green once held up a service station. The attendant ran away so Mitch after robbing the til, started filling up people's cars with petrol and pocketing the money. That's what he was doing when the cops turned up. The guy was a severe Einstein

He might be Robin Hood reincarnated but even if he isn't that petrol scam is pretty cool.

Why do you think people are so interested in certain boxers who showed flashes of brilliance, but never made it big?

Is it something about unrealized potential?

I sometimes think that people like complicated and flawed characters rather than the perfect media confections as they identify with them, I certainly do.

Thanks!

Is it worth it?

Mitch should have been matched up with Broad, Tucker, or Bey in 1985, he could've beaten at least one of them.

Maybe this link here sums it up in a nutshell?

Nice. I guess we all could have been "somebody..."

[Cutman Scabbers]

No Green fans around?

Really talented guy but had his career ruined by Don King and also his own attitude. The commentary on the green-tyson fight, with tompkins,Merchant and SRL is the most shameless,disgusting display of biased and insulting commentary I have heard. Merchant spends all his time moaning "one guy wants to fight the other doesnt"...and "Tyson is in with a guy who wont cooperate".....they spend all their time lambasting Green for the shots he is taking, almost as if they wish Green would just hand the spectacular kayo to their poster child Tyson....no where do they mention, Jose Torres the glorified Tyson cheerleader, and also NY Athletic Commission top dog has forced Green before the fight to fight Tyson despite King reducing his promised pay drastically otherwise Green will have his licence revocked...Boxing was a very dirty business in 1986....and Green was royally screwed by everyone, not least the HBO commentators who gave Green no credit whatsoever for his chin, toughness, occasional speedy flurries, or his defiance for ten brutal rounds. Ray Leonard in particular being a boxer should have shown some respect for Green and what he was going through in the ring.......I think the whole experience broke Green he fought very sparingly for the rest of his career and never reached anywhere near the same level.

Is it any better now?

Any major change takes much longer than 30 years.

Green should write a book, it would be arguably one of the best in boxing history.
