[33rdsseaypDexter]

so am I

[Jortender]

sugar ray leonard "The black Boy" ? really? show some more respect you white cunt.

[KiwiDillan]

@Jortender nothing wrong with calling an orange....an orange

[USTOLEMYFRIEDCHICKEN]

@Jortender so what people always say "The WHite BOy"

[Jortender]

@USTOLEMYFRIEDCHICKEN What do you want us to say then? The Lightskinned boy?

[ayoitsmeeeh]

All these commentators on sugars side lol these assholes never thought they would make a movie about dicky many years later. 7:04 "Ecklund has a habit of smiling when he gets hit, Its really not funny " LMFAO

[ovywan08]

did that moron play-by-play guy just say "sugar ray leonard, the black boy" @ 1:02?

[Crodon]

I thought Eklund won this?

[Pwells1]

@Crodon umm no. He lost. But he knocked down Sugar Ray once.

[emersoncf]

Who else thinks this fight was better than the famous Ward vs. Gatti Triology? These two guys deserve all the praises they received for their performances in those three fights. However, two brawlers trading non-stop punches with little skills, little technique and no tatics not necessarily results in a good boxing match, despite being pretty thrilling and enjoyable to watch. For other hand, Ecklund and Leonard provided an absolutely brilliant boxing clinic in their bout .

[Kingdav9]

@emersoncf ward v gatti were amazing fights

[rmleider]

This was back when Larry could beat up Floyd "Running from Manny" Mayweather

[POOH17th]

Man that was some racist shit, why would he say it. Back then you could be racist in daylight, now they sneaky with it but we still catch yah

[PDMvidz]

did that racists ass announcer just call leonard 'the black boy'. wtf is up with that

[MrVoidsec]

@PDMvidz How the fuck is that racist? You people are stupid. You'll take anything you can and make it racists. I bet you even make my comment/reply here racist. Sheesh.

[thewelshviper]

@PDMvidz saying black boy aint racist neither is whiteboy back in the 30s,40s and 50s boxing commentaters would say negro

[PDMvidz]

@thewelshviper its not politically correct. second of all, he's not a boy. he's a grown ass man. show him some respect.

[thewelshviper]

@PDMvidz well he is probz younger than these guys and shut up watch rayrobinson,joe louis and more black fighters commentaters would call them negros and no on cared

[PDMvidz]

@thewelshviper just because no one cared doesnt mean that its right. besides, how the hell would you know that know one cared. did you take a poll to see if anybody disagreed with it. and as far as im concerned, calling him a boy is offensive enough because he is a grown man. thats showing too much disrespect to call him a black boy.

[thewelshviper]

@PDMvidz shut up you sensitive gimp

[PDMvidz]

@thewelshviper oh wow!!! I dont have time to argue over the internet. to me thats a real bitch move. take care.

[thewelshviper]

@PDMvidz your the one crying over him being called a black boy and for now on every time you reply im just going to call you a gimp

[PDMvidz]

@thewelshviper GIMP.

[thewelshviper]

@PDMvidz You dont have to tell me what you are

[PDMvidz]

@thewelshviper gimp= great important magnificent person. thanks for the compliment.

[thewelshviper]

@PDMvidz i really dont mean it in that way you might want to look up the other meanings for it.....

[DanIrish409]

Irishmen make for the best fights!!! Erin Go Bragh dickie eklund and micky ward!!!

[nrq9000]

i wish more commentators would just say stuff like that. leonard is the black boy. str8 to the point. and dunphy called everybody boy.

[arniejck]

i cant fuckin believe he said BLACKBOY!

[ekultus]

like this if your a faggot who likes writing "like this if" comments

[ViceVurze1]

ok..."the black boy"...lol- now i see why the argument down below is going on. To the idiots asking all the dumb questions like, "why is callin sugar ray a black boy offensive?" 1 you're an idiot for askin the question, 2, sugar ray leonard was a grown ass man at the time, u don't call any man a boy... and yes the term "boy" especially at that time is just as offensive as call him a "Nigger"...dont believe me? ?go outside and try it amongst black men and see what happens..lol

[KOehlbeck9]

Why is blackboy so offensive??? He's black and he's male.... Simple as that get over it its not 1970 anymore

[Latchwood1]

I love how back then you could say black boy with out a bunch of black people calling everyone Racists

[777Trigger]

The Black boy??A tad racist, no?

[sopranosfan87]

The pride of Lowell

[alexaadap]

Larry Merchant sounds so young

[ThaUnknownUniverse]

my real name is charles lee ray!!! but you can call me chucky..

[katamariikid]

Why is everyone upset about "black boy"? It's only a big deal if you make it a big deal. Who cares. I swear, people have become such politically-correct softies. So afraid of being "racist".

[melissabradarvo]

The Fighter sent me here. Where else do we go these days to find this sort of stuff!!!

[creative11019]

LIKE THIS IF YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE OF THE MOVIE "THE FIGHTER" OR CHRISTIAN BALE

[mwmyers14]

@creative11019 mark wahlberg sent me

[JohnAntonyFortune]

@creative11019 GO FUCK YOURSELF WHO GIVES A FUCK !!!

[thehotrodguy1]

@creative11019 He call them both boys so I do not know what you are talking about just pay attention

[hockeyrulz137]

@AndyRantz.  Samee

[MrBumboclart]

don't see why people are making such a deal out of the commentator calling leonard 'a black boy.' what else should he call him? a white boy?

[AndyRantz]

The Fighter sent me here.

[MrDanny333333333]

@AndyRantz you know it!

[slimithy12]

@AndyRantz yeah, you and 99,477 other people....lol.

[HarlemKnightTV100]

[TheHalofreak2011]

he says it at 1:03

[sportstackingwiz1]

Wow, he is fuckin squirelly as fuck

[Aruleofawakenin]

which one is black?

[dan32113]

@Aruleofawakenin the one with dark skin!

[heavynumbertaco]

Yes he called them both boys,oh shit. But man,I wouldn't want to box Eklund. Unorthodox and squirrely,The fight actually shows how good Leonard was in fighting someone like Eklund

[Blueboy2414]

Uh even if you wernt watching in "color" you can tell hes black right? Whats the problem...do you hate your color so much that you cant hear people say it? Screw the "P.C." bull, he was just saying what you are...hows that racist? Hispanics are brown, asians are yellow, indians are red, anglosaxons are clear some pi.k and albino, so what?

[b0sharp]

funny you can see eklund 7 sisters and mom along the ring side

[Magnum49r]

where does he say "black boy"? I must've missed it

[mrdamico223]

@strikeforce104

ur probably black....oooops I mean "African American" gosh...I gotta watch myself nowadays...

[Cuauhtli47]

why do blacks always dance around in the ring its annoying as fuck...

[bill9e]

This was a long time ago, different world, when everything wasnt politicaly correct. Nobody even thought twice about the comment, get over it.

[XXID88]

hes black and this is old timey. nothing racist.

[strikeforce104]

Let me tell you something, the commentator Don Dunphy who passed away, had some nerve to refer to Ray Leonard as the "Black boy." What a freaking disgrace from a commentator who was touted as one of the best, but in listening to ALL his broadcasts he was only mediocre with very limited boxing knowledge.

[dan32113]

@strikeforce104 so by the same token, Hopkins has got a nerve saying i"ll never lose to a white boy. He got away with that though didn"t he. Shame Calzaghe beat him!!!

[executionery4145]

wow tht racist comentactor cant appreciate great boxing

[swiv2d]

Merchant was a better ringside commentator here

[raven062000]

great quality 4mirk. Sugar Ray Leonard, the black boy....wow.

[4mirkhan]

@raven062000 np, glad you enjoyed

[westeh]

@raven062000 .. he also goes onto say "the both boys" .... I don't this was racial in anyway

[raven062000]

@westeh How's "both boys" the same as "the black boy?" Did he say Dicky Euclund "the white boy?" No, he did not. I don't know if the guy was being racist or not. I don't care. I just thought it was an unnecessary statement and I'm glad that some things have changed.

[westeh]

@raven062000 You sound like a whinger .. the type of person with no life who takes notice of far to many negative things rather then the positive... I am glad things have changed and people like you are dissapearing ... who cares if he is black or someone states he is black .... You need to get a life !

[raven062000]

@westeh I don't know what a whinger is, but if you had a life, why'd you waist any of it sending a reply to me? Lame.

[helbyr1]

@raven062000 ... Yes.... I knew I was right...

[cesear123456]

wow black boy.  harsh!

[cesear123456]

@raven062000 harsh!

[TA152H01]

@raven062000 The interesting this is you think there's something wrong with it. He calls both fighter's boys, so you have him making the obvious comment that Leonard is "black". I think it's silly that commentators have a problem saying this at all. It's not derogatory, it's simply descriptive. Leonard is darker, and it's an easy way to make a distinction. Big deal. It's nothing to be uncomfortable about.

[MB4763]

@raven062000  the rich black boy

[IrishNickO]

@raven062000 Yeah that wouldn't fly nowadays. He meant no harm when he said it.

[malleymyster]

how old was dickie in this?

[aznplayertake]

@malleymyster Like 20 ! LMFAO

[ruggedd]

lol if your upset about the commentator you would be fucking furious on the bus ride home where a sign would hang black people in the black or if you went to take a shit and the sign red white only 

[fleckx]

If you're watching in color.

[TheMagicmollymoll]

belta little fighter this Dick Ekland BTW

[DragonHeart613]

Wow. Did The Commentator Actually Refer To Sugar As "The Black Boy With White Trunks"??? What A F'n Racist Scumbag! Just Who Was That Senile Hypocrite Calling The Action?

[KaitainCPS]

@DragonHeart613

Dear god, man, that was just the way people talked in those days. If it was racist, it was just societal. Christ, do you think the world has always been the way it's been since your birth, and that people have always talked the same way?

[KWCline91]

@DragonHeart613 Plus, if people were watching the fight, they would want to know who's who in the bout

[davedaddy101]

@DragonHeart613 It was the times man. Things we say that are totally politically correct today, will be frowned upon tomorrow. It used to be a tremendous compliment to call a black man a negro, or even colored. It was once a huge compliment to refer to a chinese person an oriental.

[KingCast65]

@davedaddy101 Times are different. I'm black and not offended. Cosell was stupid though with his look at that little monkey go I'll never forget that. Anyway watch my short film I wish I had thought to put a clip from this fight in it, damn :(

F-Bombs Away! Melissa Leo, Christian Bale and the Fighter KO the comp at 2011 Oscars

[kalikev]

He said THE BLACK BOY... wow. Racist piece of old wht shit

[dan32113]

@kalikev this was the 1970"s. only 3yrs ago Hopkins said i"ll never lose to a whiteboy, talking to Calzaghe.

[kalikev]

@dan32113 AND?? ur point. stop getting sensative...wht ppl deservenling so, catch flack for terms like black boy and nigger and spook... because of the history. just like gays call each other fag...but if i call them a faggot they get pissed...or women call each other Bitches,but u call a woman that,they get pissed... u wht boys got get educated on life...i didnt make the rules..its just the way it is DUMBASS WHTBOY

[dan32113]

@kalikev the fact is Hopkins was Racist, Calzaghe thought it was racist which is the defining point. You can"t have Carte blanche when it comes to racist statements, otherwise you get a free for all. Its clear that you are not the sharpest tool, you"ve written an incoherent rabble that only someone with a brain the size of a pigeon could be proud of!

[kalikev]

@dan32113 ...LMAO thanks for proving my point.. youre all sensative bc peckerwoods were the main reason why it is what it is... its like calling affermative action a racist program.. SMH!! anyone that thinks that is stupid, wht ppl are the ones scared of race,and use it as reasons for negative social reasons. in the 70's especailly "BlackBoy" is a negative description of the Black Male... does your dumb ass hear ANYONE (black or White) refer to Black men as 'Black Boy" in 2011? NO stupid

[dan32113]

@kalikev you"ve proved you are stupid! The fact is Bernard Hopkins was racist, for the fact he made referance to Calzaghes race. Floyd Mayweather said racist comments to Pacquiao aswell, maybe its a "black thang!" The reason you don"t here blackboy is because we are not insecure! Calling someone whiteboy IS racist, because it refers to their race! You are thick as the proverbial.... Youre too thick to answer back straight away, so go & read a bit to gain insight! zzzzzzzz

[KOehlbeck9]

@dan32113 calling a white person whiteboy isnt racist???? wtf are you smoking i dont find that offensive at all...

[kalikev]

@dan32113 your the white guy that screams like andrew brietbart... pointing fingers at blk ppl " see, see...blacks are racist too"...wow! u got issues dude.... remember when this video took place, keep it in context...you probaly think blks volunteered to come here as slaves bc there was no food in africa...lol ur a punk peckerwood...yes i said it.. reguardless, no wht boy will ever beat moneymay or pacman...stick to swimming and nascar billybob

[dan32113]

@kalikev Mayweather was protected by the spanish waiter Joe Cortez, in the Hatton fight! Dick EKlunds brother was in The Ring fight of the year 3 times, Mayweather never has been! AfricanAmerican trainer Emanuel Steward who has trained over 30 world champions said The Gatti vs Ward rd 9, was the round of the century, thats to whitemen! Steward has seen it all, but said those to crackers was the best rd he"d seen! FACT

[Roggiedodgie]

@kalikev Hey, what's wrong with pacman? I love that darn game. Don't care much for nascar tho. Them boys just go round in circles, again and again...

[BellaCarib]

Wow,did the commentator really say sugar ray leonard the black boy with the white trunks ?

[rockmeistro]

where's the audio?

[bitchslap666]

Wow, great quality. Thanks for posting this!

[hehehe212]

holy right audio..

[SuicidalBrandon]

dickky smiles when he gets hit, show how more bad ass he is lol

[Pilaf2]

the funny crackhead lied!

[Tonyokay87]

SRL tripped. That crackhead lies. 

[11caulfield]

@Tonyokay87 Try to stand on your feet against a boxer like Sugar Ray! This crackhead from Lowell did that.

[DMoneyHoney151]

The black boy... HAHAHAHA... thats awesome.

[Solowizard]

@4 A Mere Con,

Thanks for uploading this fight. I probably won't watch the movie (Starring Mark Walberg as Dick Ecklund's younger brother Mickey Ward), but I watched the HBO Special "High on Crack" for the 3rd time. It's a shame what happened to Ecklund.

[t100base]

@Solowizard the movie is garbage, though Christian bale did a good performance. other than that, it was garbage.

[Solowizard]

@t100base - Movies about boxing usually is Garbage. The movie Rocky had a great story line, but the boxing portion left most people with the mistaken belief that that's what boxing is suppose to look like in the ring and it's NOT!

[tdk813]

@Solowizard

You mean the underdog doesn't take 1 million punches then end up winning the fight?

[Solowizard]

LOL! You rarely hear an HBO Commentator tell you exactly what the letters HBO mean (Home Box Office). LOL!

[Solowizard]

"Your watching in color. Ecklund is wearing the blue trunks and Sugar Ray Leonard, the black boy is wearing the white trunks." LOL,LOL! Typical old white man talk.

[ilyaLiviz]

Am I the only one that notices these things????? Look at how much more energy dicki is expending compared to suga... When Tyson was doing it he would step in and throw blows.... It takes so much energy to move around so much...

[bowlculatorman1]

@ilyaLiviz What about Aaron "the hawk" Pryor ........Did Pryor expended energy moving side to side??? What about the black bottle at the beginning of the 13th round?????

[crjaded]

Sheesh! Did Larry Merchant invent HBO or something??

[jorodd]

I watched the movie last night. Very good, better than I expected. Christian Bale was great as Ecklund. No mention of Gatti as the films ends with Ward winning his first title before he fought Gatti.

[gee187um]

"The black boy is wearing the white trucks" Dan Dunfuee what a guy!! Funny shit. Leonard was the baddest fighter of the 80s

[gjc82071]

Wow. "If" you're watching this in "color"? LOL! Guess many people still had B&W TV's then. Wonder if like...10yrs from now, that would be similar to saying "If your watching this in HDVT". Also, I can't believe he referred to Sugar Ray is "The black boy"! Wow! Can you imagine the repercussion today, if a commentator called an "African American" a "black boy"? Wheeew! FIRED on the spot! Civil rights marches, 24/7 news coverage of the "event"/name calling, etc. Times sure'av changed.

[gjc82071]

It's amazing the devastating effects crack cocaine can have on a people. Totally derailed his life. Hard to believe this is the same guy who was in an HBO documentary about crack. This is Mickey Ward's brother/worked his corner. Christan Bale will be playing Dickey in the upcoming movie "The Fighter", with Mark Whalberg as Mickey. Can't wait to see it. Wonder if Ward vs Gatti trilogy will be portrayed in it?

[LEEKYLE99]

@ i checked imdb and they dont have gattis name in the credits or anyone playing him so i wonder?

[gjc82071]

@LEEKYLE99 The film is probably in post production then? IMDB have a release date? If the movie is actually what I think/read (think it's autobiographical), how could they not portray Gatti/Gatti Ward trilogy? That was like the career defining fight for BOTH of'em! It'd be like making a Holyfield or Ali movie but not referencing Bowe/Tyson, or Liston/Fraiser/Foreman. Wonder if it's more a fictional/semi-portrayal of the Wards? Like, Derrik & Mikey Willard instead of Dicky & Mickey Ward?
