Old vhs boxing tapes

[evrenb]

Hi

Does anybody have old VHS boxing tapes they are getting rid of? I've read a few times of people on here throwing them on the tip. I'm happy to pay for postage and will make dvd copies if wanted. Thanks

I offered 100 x 3/4 hour tapes on here a few years back,before you were a member I think and had no interest so threw them in the tip.Old tapes tend to jam and break in the machine,quite difficult to record from I found.

I have thousands upon thousands of fights on VHS. I play the tapes now and then and most are still in good working order. They past the test of time and can still go the distance about 95 percent of them

Yes. I enjoy them and still watch some now and then. I have a dvd recorder but have so many fights it would be impossible to switch them all over in a lifetime.

Do you got Ismael Laguna vs Carlos Ortiz II?

Also, Laguna vs Ken Buchanan in color?

[elmersalsa]

I meant Ken Buchanan vs Ismael Laguna fight #1 in color.

My first recorded bout on VHS was Trevor Berbick-Mitch Green and then Hector Camacho Sr.-Jose Luis Ramirez...at least in Puerto Rico the Camacho-Ramirez bout was considered HUGE, one of the 5 or 6 big bouts of 1985 along with Bramble-Mancini II, Hagler-Hearns, Gomez-Lockridge, Spinks-Holmes I and Curry-McCrory. My family got our first VCR just after Gomez-Lockridge and before Camacho-Ramirez so I decided to begin recording fights starting with the Camacho-Ramirez card. As I remember, I went out the night of the fight and got me a Kodak tape. I was 12 and believed the tape would last me forever!

And then I found out as you have mentioned, during a show of an old Matthew Saad Muhammad bout on a Sunday afternoon, that sadly, you are right. Tapes broke after jamming. Recording the bouts (and movies) was easy...keeping the tapes from jamming and breaking not that much!

I did decide to put the best highlights of all the tapes I had into one tape which if it even still exists, I could not use anyways as I have no more VCR's....(in fact I also have a VCR tape where I am myself recorded in my only ever television singing presentation during a presentation on the Puerto Rican version of MTV's Control Remote-an aspiring rocker at that time, they had me sing a Merengue song instead, )

In short, thank God for Youtube!

I have over 2000 fights on VHS. I have 100s and 100s of fights and the tapes are still in pretty good condition for the most part. During this pandemic i have been able to put them in some kind of order by tape brand in particular. Do not get me wrong a few of them have malfunctioned over the years. I like VHS better than DVD. I am not kidding i have 100s of DVDs and have more trouble with them than the 1000s of VHS tapes i own. I do have a DVD recorder but do not have the time to switch everything i have on VHS in a lifetime.

Oh I bet! The fight kind of...kind of, compared to other fights of that era, but not so much when compared to modern fights, sucked anyways.

No i got about 3 working VCRS and a bud gave me a DVD recorder a few years ago. I could churn let out easily but i choose not to because it would take longer than a lifetime. In fact i like the VHS better anyhow.

[evrenb]

I transferred 90% of stuff onto DVD. But I wish I was more forward thinking at the time and digitized it all instead.

I have a studio in my bedroom with the connection to switch VHS to DVD. The copy usually comes out better and is a good setup.
