When We Were Kings

by John Bloody Wayne Sat 07 May 2011, 2:04 pm

There are some great links, thanks. Legendary Nights was a great series, if a little US bias and When We Were Kings is just one of the best films I've ever seen. The Liston and Robinson docs I'll vouch for too.

I saw a trailer for one that I haven't been able to find the actual full film for...

After the Last Round

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Sat 07 May 2011, 2:07 pm

Cheers mate not seen a lot of these before. Boxing Documentaries 732107

by **HumanWindmill** Sat 07 May 2011, 2:12 pm

Fabulous idea, Scott.

Bit busy over the weekend, but starting Monday I'd like to add these to our youtube channel if that's okay with you.

In the meantime, I'll try to dig out the Louis / Schmeling one and also ' Unforgivable Blackness ' which I have on DVD and find excellent.

by Scottrf Sat 07 May 2011, 2:21 pm

Not sure if it's the one you reference, but found a Louis/Schmeling one. Can't find that Jack Johnson one.

by **HumanWindmill** Sat 07 May 2011, 2:23 pm

The Johnson one is pretty long, Scott, so it might not be out there at youtube. Glad you found a Louis / Schmeling one, though.

Will sort them out on Monday. Hopefully we'll have a few more by then.

Cheers Scott.

by Jimmythebullet Mon 30 May 2011, 1:37 pm

Cheers for putting these up Scott. Have been working my way through them the last few days, and really enjoying them.

by Daz Mon 30 May 2011, 9:23 pm

Great article here.

Cheers! thumbsup

These are fantastic Scott, thanks very much you big Clark Gable

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 25 Jun 2011, 6:29 pm

Anybody seen that documentary about a lad who came with nothing to England as a teenager and then became the toast of the town with his Industrial psychology and Boxing knowledge...

Real tearjerker...

Supposed to be a big hit on the tube..

I heard he lost it all after an overdose of Honey and Curry

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 25 Jun 2011, 6:32 pm

Nice one.. Wink

by Scottrf Sat 16 Jul 2011, 10:44 am

Added Sons of Cuba, couple of Robinson ones, Ring of Fire, Liston: TCNW, and Olympic boxing.

by Scottrf Sat 16 Jul 2011, 10:49 am

Found the Johnson one now too.

by ONETWOFOREVER Sat 16 Jul 2011, 11:15 am

Cheers Scottrf looks like I will have to cancel that date with busty triplet sisters Olga, Roxana and Zvetlana.

Ah the things I'll do for the love of boxing.

Seriously cheers.

by The Galveston Giant Sat 16 Jul 2011, 3:46 pm

Ring of Fire is excellent, as are most, i've not seen the Cuban one yet will need to check that out.

by The Galveston Giant Sat 16 Jul 2011, 3:48 pm

This list is a lot bigger than the last time i checked, nice work Scott.

by Jimmy Moz Sat 16 Jul 2011, 5:15 pm

The Fighter was a good documentary. Well technically it was film but you know what I mean lol.

by BALTIMORA Sat 16 Jul 2011, 5:17 pm

J.C.Chavez isn't a had watch. Title says it all.

by BALTIMORA Sat 16 Jul 2011, 5:19 pm

Jimmy Moz wrote:The Fighter was a good documentary. Well technically it was film but you know what I mean lol

Must admit I wasn't overly impressed by it. Wahlberg is a bit wooden and Bale is just painful to watch. A few inaccuracies too. Made Mickey Ward seem a bit dull.

by TRUSSMAN66 Sat 16 Jul 2011, 7:43 pm

Looking for a documentary called.....

"Horizontal heavyweights"

by **HumanWindmill** Sun 17 Jul 2011, 10:00 am

Easily accomplished.

Just buy boxed career sets of most of today's American heavies.

by Guest Sun 17 Jul 2011, 11:06 am

It should be compulsory to watch "Legendary Nights"...how DO you like it?!
You mean there are links to all these docu's? Scott, u Legernd, lol !

by Guest Sun 17 Jul 2011, 11:11 am

Cheers Scott, you da man for da links bro.

Cheers for these Scott.

Toney/Eubank Docs added.

by John Bloody Wayne Sun 07 Aug 2011, 4:06 am

The Emile Griffith documentary is something else. Double recommend it.

by AlexHuckerby Sun 07 Aug 2011, 5:14 pm

Just watched the Holyfield - Bowe legendary nights, was really really good. Britain never makes anything as dramatic as that =/ Typical dramatic Americans able to do that kind of thing.

by Neutral Corner Sun 18 Sep 2011, 9:23 am

Scott

Cheers for arranging the above list. Some fantastic and compelling documentaries. Spent too much time already watching these much to the annoyance of my girlfriend.

I really want to see Ring of Fire but the link seems to be broken. Can you upload another mate?

Much appreciated

Glad you enjoyed them.

The link is working fine. Problem must be your end.

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Sun 18 Sep 2011, 1:59 pm

Watched after the last round the other night. Excellent documentary a bit anti boxing at times but it almost brought a tear to my eye. I would recommend it to anyone whether they were a boxing fan or not.

by Scottrf Sun 25 Sep 2011, 5:49 pm

Lewis one added.

Anyone catch the Michael Watson Documentary on Sky Sports 3 the other night? I didn't watch it does anyone recommend it?

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Sun 25 Sep 2011, 7:52 pm

I would it was good .

by 6oldenbhoy Mon 26 Sep 2011, 5:44 pm

Scott, the UK amateur one is actually about an Irish club in Dublin. The person who uploaded it has named it UK amateur boxing for some strange reason, but changing the title on this thread would probably be best.

Where did you see it? I tried looking for it on youtube but could only find an infuriatingly intriguing trailer.

I downloaded it from a torrent site. I'm not allowed to post the link.

Bit of a dig there Kev? Haha.

Haha. No for once it's nothing to do with the Nazi party! It's the rules of the site your not allowed to advertise it.

Good spot Alex.

Now this topic been bumped up the thread list i've had a look through as I wasn't aware of it before. You should set up a 606v2 library with all the best vids and articles out there - there's been lots of interesting stuff posted around the site.

I also read a comment about a youtube channel, what's it called as nothing comes up for 606v2? Cheers
