Yes, I'm pretty sure he no longer sells. The email addresses I have found for him online are unregistered/inactive.

I need somebody who sells the current Japanese fights. Has to be recorded from TV, not from an online broadcast.

Yeah, the full broadcast is always interesting. I have a Japanese TV fight in my collection, commercials and all that I really enjoy watching from time to time just because it's unique to see and have.

A lot of the threads I found when searching were from around 10 years ago so not sure who is still active. I am looking for 80s, 90s stuff. I am a member of those torrent sites, but they are mainly good for recent fights.

Anyone still purchase boxing dvds? Any recommended sellers?

Thanks :TU: :box:
dailymotion is pretty good aswell, not such if anyone else has said

So Glen Murphy was an amateur international?
Boxed for West Ham and Repton?
His dad was a top class pro when the standard was much higher?

When i first started to watch boxing I had to wait to get boxing news for the result,so if a fight was on Saturday night,i'd have to wait until the follwing Friday afternoon to see who won,sometimes the delivery was late and i would have to wait until the next week :doh:

Goz wrote: 03 Mar 2020, 17:16 I used to order from a SP Baldry as advertised in BM. Amazing now when you think about it. Used to love getting those tapes through.

I think by the time it was DVD I'd already stopped.
Steven (or Stuart, can't quite remember) was great. i got tons of rare stuff off him. He once told me he had contacts from all over the world and any fight that was televised anywhere in the globe he could get hold of.

I requested loads of exotic stuff and he never let me down - just once I wanted him to fall on his arse but it never happened. That was all on VHS of course, some years later moved into a pokey flat with no space to store them and had to let them all go. Regret it now of course.

I've just ordered some Steve Robinson fights off this guy : http://boxingcareerdvds.com/index.html

If they're good quality i'll get loads more off him. I couldn't order through the site but emailed him (not expecting a response) and he got back to me really quickly. Finger crossed he'll be a reliable contact to have.
