Re: Spence Jr vs Garcia - UK TV?
I was watching back then but I can't remember two or three boxing matches a week. There used to be a lot of good stuff on Mid Week Sport Special on ITV, and Sportsnight to a slightly lesser extent. Some of the bigger fights were on at the weekend, and the big fights from America were shown on delayed replay the next day. Up until the early 90s big time boxers were household names and the bigger fights used to get huge audiences. Some great names and fights, brilliant time to be a boxing fan.
Re: Spence Jr vs Garcia - UK TV?
Oh yeah! I remember doing that. I had to decide which fight I was going to watch live and which one on delay/tape.bigjack wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 17:25What i meant was i had to record them on the old VHS tapes as there were often some on the same night but different channels.oogiebe wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 17:20There's never too many fights to watch.bigjack wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 17:12That's how it always was,there were times when there were too many fights on to watch,sometimes 2 or 3 a week.Terminator666 wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 17:07 I’m suprised it’s free- this is the way Boxing should be though- top fights on terrestrial tv

We had Friday night fights; UHF Spanish channel for Boxe Professionale; ESPN (later); Wide World of Sports on Saturday; Sports Spectacular on Sat and Sun, and many fights were broadcast. This was before cable television of course.bigjack wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 17:31There was midweek sports special,sportsnight,fightnight,seconds out,big fight live BBC and ITV plus all the delayed american shows.dr_devious wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 17:28 I was watching back then but I can't remember two or three boxing matches a week.

Re: Spence Jr vs Garcia - UK TV?
Same here. We could follow our Olympic boxers (and other young prospects, especially local) as they moved through the pros back then. You allude to a good point though in that today, we get so much more (and I appreciate) exposure to international/foreign fighters earlier on in their careers.bigjack wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 17:42there were a lot more domestic fights those days too so we got to see some great match ups for the British titlesoogiebe wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 17:39Ah the good ole days are gone forevah!bigjack wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 17:37Great times mate.oogiebe wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 17:34We had Friday night fights; UHF Spanish channel for Boxe Professionale; ESPN (later); Wide World of Sports on Saturday; Sports Spectacular on Sat and Sun, and many fights were broadcast.
