Who's here after watching Joshua v Ngannou?
Yepp
Took me a while to work out who the commentator was talking about. His accent was thick and I'm from the UK too.
Who was it who knocked out Donald Curry though?
@@Sim0n98 Lloyd Honeyghan
@@ToeInMyJamtook me a minute to I heard Donald curry typed it in and this came up🫡
When the ringside commentator mentioned this fight in the Anthony Joshua vs Ngannou fight I expected an old video two Irishman boxing lmao.
I miss those days when good young fighter weren’t afraid to fight each other. It seems like many of today’s boxing fans forget we are just that fans not family members or friends. I have actually seen fans argue why to great fighters should not fight each other. I’m serious I can’t make this stuff up. They go on boxing sites to argue against the good fights
Im glad the Saudis are throwing millions into making superfights happen like Beterbiev vs Bivol.
One of the best left hooks I've ever seen
McCrory dropped his right just in time for that hook to land. No disrespect to Curry, but that punch should not have landed. McCrory was a guy who looked great on the way up, but he couldn't defeat the really good fighters.
That left hook is a masterpiece 🥊
Yea.. effortless & crisp.. Picture perfect.
You can barely even see that first shot watching it from a distance. Poor Milton had no chance. He was fighting and, for all he knew, the floor just came up and hit him in his back. Top Rank is cooking with all of these old fights lately.
Yeah they’re definitely cooking, they should start uploading anywhere from like 5 to 10 of these per day.
@@decidingpaper6324They likely have the deepest vault in the entire sport. In terms of ANYTHING. They could probably go a few months uploading multiple fights every single day before you see the same one twice. Then there's all the rare sparring and interviews, bts stuff they surely have.
Best era of Boxing.
The left hook was among the greatest punches in boxing history when you take into account the quality of the fighters and what was at stake
More brutal back then. Counted the guy out with the full ten count despite it being hopeless.
I was able to hold curry’s championship belt today ✊🏾
Great shot!! Wonderful KO ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 thank you
His brain was saying yes but mind was saying he’ll nah we good 😂
When Don Curry was the main man at Welterweight and was the Undisputed champion 🏆 until he lost his belts to Lloyd Honeyghan 💥🥊
Weight drained
@@MartinSmith-qt3cc Curry was an amazing in-fighter; he could stand toe to toe and not be hit. He always kept his head between his gloves until those pencil legs started to go, then you could see a lot of times on the inside, his head was getting out in front of his gloves and he got a lot of headbutts.
The fight that made Donald Curry Ring Magazine Co-Fighter Of The Year alongside the then Undisputed World Middleweight Champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler who KO'd Thomas Hitman Hearns on April 15th of that year at the Caesars Palace Las Vegas NV
Donald curry has the best amateur record of all time. 400 wins and only 4 losses. Ok second best behind Lomas 300 wins and 1 loss. But hey I consider those two the most insane for sure.
Upload Nunn vs Curry plz
My favorite fighter at his all time peak! I really think on this night he would have given any welterweight in history a tough fight. Granted Milton wasnt what the magazines were touting him as back then, but he was the other champion and an undefeated fighter. Donald was damn near as perfect as you can get here.
Until he fought Lyoud Houunigan..😂
@@hopefulworldstands5240 you cant even spell so your opinion doesnt matter to me
Left (or right) hook is the one punch that hurts as hell even if you are moving away.
Boom. “I’m ok I’m ok.” “Ok, on you go!”… BOOM!
I remember the build up to this fight where the winner would have been considered as the heir apparent to Sugar Ray Leonard. It looked for a while that Curry was exactly that until he fought Honeyghan. McCrory never went anywhere after this fight.
I wonder how Lloyd Honeyghan would have got on in this bout, at this, time? He was British, Commonwealth, and European Welterweight Champion by this stage, and of course, some nine months later would go on to bash Curry up in Atlantic City, effectively ending his career at world level (RSF at the end of the sixth round); although, of course, Curry would go on to beat Gianfranco Rossi for the WBC Super Welterweight Title (1988). Honeyghan even stole his thunder there though, having knocked Rossi out cold in three rounds for the Europen Welterweight Title in 1985 - it took Curry ten rounds to get a technical knockout victory over Rossi. Thanks for uploading.
I'm a big Honeyghan fan but this version of Curry imo wouldve beaten him in sept 1986 For the record i think the 86 version Honeyghan outpoints any version of Starling
Ironic how Curry was ko’d by McCallum
McCallum WAS the real deal. Proved it over a good few years.
The referee should have not have allowed the fight to continue after the first knockdown. McCrory was out on his feet. He said he was okay, but it was out of instinct.
There are some judges and referees who make really poor decisions now. But the decision by Mills Lane to allow this fight to continue was an absolute scandal.
McCrory wasn't a patch on Curry - he got draw and decision v Colin Jones and he didn't win either fight. No way.
Curry beat Jones comfortably
my dad was a mccrory fan but i picked curry to win the fight. i thought he was a better fighter.
Mccrory had no pop on his shots solid jab but cant crack
I would never guess he was a top fighter from watching this. I don't see much of anything with him.
What was the point of the second count? 😂
Probably because the ref wanted a body
Poor referee.
Did he smell of curry ? Genuine question.
Unfortunately no 😂
@@decidingpaper6324 I'm not even going to lie, that confirmation has literally ruined my day now ffs!
@@AB-wu5iv 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Curry was a bad man. Wonder what happened to him
He fought people better than him.
You can see his eyes on the second knockdown are so glossy. In these days there's no way the ref would let that go on.
