old fight footage

I know most of you guys on here have seen plenty of film of past fighters. My question to you is where did you find this footage, and how can I go about seeing it myself? It blows me away how much film Brockton has seen being a youngster like myself. Where the hell did you find all of it Brockton?

Talking of old fight footage, could someone help me on this one.

Every boxing dealer ive got in touch with in the past, ive asked them if they have a copy of ROBERTO DURAN V VILOMAR FERNANDEZ. No one seemed to have it, not sure if it was even televised, but being lightweight title defence no 10 in america (miami) you would have thought there would be some footage.

Quite a few years ago, i spoke to a guy on the phone who told me he had every fight of Durans career!! How would you manage to get Durans early career fights when there in Panama and a few in puerto rico off the top of my head. It is possible but highly unlikely! Some lists ive seen have about a third to half of his pro career. Was this phone guy talking a load of BS?

Love to watch Duran - Fernandez though, Fernandez had some credible fights after this. Classic Legend in the making versus top 10er with a tricky boxing style. Nothing like seeing the champ encounter a few probs early, then break down the mover with body punches. Sweet!!

It is NOT a part of the 53 fight/ 19 DVD set available on Ebay. I would guess it is not available in typical circles. I have both of Arguello's fights against Fernandez though.
