Joe Bugner vs Steffan Tangstad

[Tuan_Jim]

Just a quick one to inform you that the very rare Bugner/Tangstad 10 rounder from Denmark has been uploaded to YouTube. Watch at your peril.

Maybe that it sucked? A prime example of everything that was wrong with Joe Bugner.

[funso banjo baby]

He'd comeback again under Mogens Palle

Outpointed Anders Eklund and then threw it away again against the average Tangstad.

this loss and the Marvis Frazier were so frustrating and bloody typical Bugner.

I'd have loved to see a match with Bruno following the Dino Dennis Ko but it wasn't to be.

btw has anyone posted the Bugner v scott welch fight (on the Bruno-Tyson 2 undercard I think?)

ive never seen that

Pretty sure that fight took place in Europe, Germany maybe?

[bigjack]

Was that allegedly in Bugners corner ?

I watched it live. It was on the German wing of the Tyson/Bruno II PPV. Steve Holdsworth on commentary. I taped it and had it for years but lost my tapes moving around in the 2000s.

Bugner couldn't compete with Welch. He was huge and could bully opponents, lean on them and sort of biff them around but Welch, like Bruno before him, was just too young and strong to be bullied by an old fat man without a big punch. He basically used Bugner as a punchbag, breaking his ribs around the third round and cornering him in the sixth where he unloaded some huge power shots on Bugner's head that flattened the old boy. Young Joe would have intimidated Welch and beat him up but at 46 it was impossible.

It will surface on YouTube eventually.

Hometown decision, Bugner won that.

I remember thinking that at the time and I think the same thing now - having re-watched it for the first time in 35 years.

I wonder if Bugner had got it he would have wound up in Vegas fighting Michael Spinks for the heavyweight title? And if so, what on earth that would have looked like?

Well, it wasn't Holmes-Norton; but, I've seen many worse fights.

Indeed
Bugner might have nicked a tight one against Spinks....but then again.

Bugner would, as ever, have managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Bugner wouldn't have beaten Spinks on his best day. In 84/85 he loses every round and is possibly stopped.

Ernie Fossey and Vic Andreeti in Bugner's corner.

Oh sorry, I only had a brief glimpse. Yes, Warren would have been in Bugner's corner at that time in the early to mid-1980s.

Sure was. Boxing was all over the TV screens and Warren made sure that the Cartel (Duff and co.) could no longer be complacent. Kaylor-Gumbs typified the era, with Kaylor climbing of the floor to essentially finish Gumbs with his very next punch.

How things have changed. When Joe Frazier died a few years ago, the BBC screened the last round of his 1971 encounter with Ali but didn't even have the decency to show the full three minutes, cutting the round to about 30 seconds.

[funso banjo baby]

it certainly was the golden era.

add to that list Henry Cooper's Golden Belt - the amateur show that gave us early looks at Cornelius Carr and Colin Mcmillan. prime time live AM boxing !!!!!!

anyone else also remember a show where dennis waterman and eamon Andrews were in opposing corners arguing the case for Muhamed ALi vesus Rocky Marciano for the title of ATG ?
