@TA152H01 Well, he didn't win the first round, but he won the next four, and all the middle apart from 6 and 7 up to about 12. If you can't see that Duran won this fight clearly, albeit closely, then you are quite simply just biased. Duran landed the cleaner punches, he landed the harder punches...

@880906 Not to jump in too much, but I thought I couldn't let this one go; THE book on incorporating your bass drum into fills etc is Colin Bailey's 'Bass Drum Control Solos'. Not just 'Bass Drum Control', which is also a great classic book and definitely worth it but the actual 'Solos' book. The...

I remember seeing a 50 year Duran (who started as a bantamweight) against a prime William Joppy for the 160 championship. That was awful to watch. A sad day. It was just like seeing Leonard against Camacho and Ali beaten up by Holmes.

The first pic after you name Armstrong is actually Ray Robinson.

@talonco26 No, he didn't. Taylor never fought Phillips and wouldn't have won anyway.

@junkuze It wasn't a scoring error. You can give it, based on personal preference, a 10-7 or 10-6. One judge gave it 10-7. It wasn't an error, because an ERROR ie. wrongly scored, would have been changed to the correct score. It can be either way, which is why it wasn't changed.

@lefthooker500 I think he was also genuinely confident because he was actually really well conditioned for this particular fight. He had come in so many times in such bad shape for the last couple of years before this fight. He was a half decent weight (although he was always too small and fat fo...

@cnullify Even so, it may be the last great rivalry we ever see in boxing. Those types of rivalries are dying with it. Even this was ruined in part by matches not being made in timely fashion and money/greed/corruption taking away from the fights and fighters being past it. Sadly, we will never ...

@johnnyzing The only problem there is, you've either never taught before, or are yourself a quick learner (which I have no doubt of you being the latter). The large majority though prefer complete explanations so there is no confusion and they don't have to come back thinking about questions late...

@marcxopoco When greats of the caliber of Gil Clancy, Emmanuel Steward, Dundee, Sugar, and just about every other boxing historian, trainer, HOFer, etc etc etc say that this is without any doubt among the greatest fights in history and that these two showed everything great about boxing, ONLY an ...

Respond to this video... SMPotatoes: That's cool mate. It's just the drum solo. It's not as if it's a part of the music....

@boomerang905 No, it wasn't. Heroin back then was an inexpensive, underground drug. It's never been an 'elite' drug at all. It has always held that label of scourge and it's only widely used among the downtrodden, traumatised, repressed and depressed because it beautifully numbs your soul and sto...

Hey Sam, lovely stuff mate. Tis good to see you in your element.

Man! He looks like Ringo! Imagine the Beatles with this updated Ringo.....lol

@AkaEmmanuel Actually, they're very similar. The Margarito fight was a terrible one to take for such a young, inexperienced fighter against a prime, highly experienced Margarito. But you could say that Bute has been knocked out by Andrade in a way. As for Cintron? Martinez KHFTO. Ten count KO! Th...

@Veritas1925 Tell that to Brian Blade, Matt Wilson and many, many, many other pro players who use 16s all the time. Just depends on the sound you're after.

Keep it up, it's getting there. It's just that you're playing it a little bit fast and things aren't lining up. You need to slow it down much more for much longer before speeding it up again. The ghost notes are a little too loud as well. It's just a comfort thing which means playing it for long ...

@E30engineering You ever seen the 'real' funk guys play? They all play this softly, some even more so. James Gadson, Zig, Purdie, Clyde and Jabo all play softly compared to most people. If you think it's about how loud you play then I can guarantee you ain't got a clue what funk is.

@OddManOut13Yeah, I know what you mean. A lot of guys feel like they have to learn it because it's the done thing at many Uni courses. It's very rare, if not impossible, for someone to get good at a music style they don't enjoy listening to or playing. It has nothing to do with accomplishment, as...

@fadethetrade Who ever said Barkley was an all time great? A great three division champ who was able to beat some of the best of an incredible era. He's not really overrated or underrated. Most don't have Duran top five all time. He's usually 7th or 8th. Arguably greatest lightweight. Only undisp...

@BruceinFalkirk That was very, very early on in Barkley's career though while Simms was in his peak years as an experienced, top contender with over twenty fights from memory. I think Barkley had had about six fights without any long amateur career to speak of. He had so many great fights early o...

@dropway9 Yeah, because it really looks like he's on something doesn't it? Fatter, slower, softer, and he gets tired as hell after a couple of rounds.....rather different to his prime when he could go 15 rounds flat out at a ridiculous non-stop pace of brutal, efficient offense and defense. Now, ...

@shire2005 Both incredible fights too! Especially the Barkley fight. That is truly one of the great fights of that era. Simms was so much better than people give him credit for. He's one of those guys that would be one of the best champions in today's era, but just wasn't good enough to beat the ...

Amazing! All around amazing players led by the Barron of course. But wow, they sped up a lot. i think it was through the drum solo it must have jumped up in tempo quite drastically. Great nonetheless.

@babyfaceassassin21 Ummm, Duran never fought Arguello. As for the the rest, each one of those fighters is better than ANYONE Pac has ever fought. Not to mention those fights were all when he was past his best. When they were both still teens, Pac was being knocked out by nobodies while Duran was ...

@brejon555 It really is poor form. Not only does he txt while other guys are playing, but he starts talking and yelling over the guitar players solo? WTF is with that? I'm sure he'd really love it if one of the others started yelling while he was in the middle of his solo. Stupid prick. Yeah, sho...

@drummakid101 Geez, you could at least double check whether what you're saying is right or not. That's a Roach lick from an album, not from Smith. That Smith solo is taken from what Roach did. This is why people should learn the tradition. Things people think are new have usually been done well b...

@appaloosa908 HAWHAWHaaaaaaaaaa brilliant!

@flammaster So true. It's often because you get this great foundation at a young age that you can quickly forget about that stuff and just keep up your hands by maintaining them rather than spending hour upon hour on technique stuff. This way you can spend much more time on ideas, improv, grooves...

@dieallday Actually, Iran Barkley was a three division world champion! People forget just how good Barkley was. He won titles in the MW, SMW and LHW division as well as beating former WBC heavyweight champ Gerry Coetzee at HW for one of the minor HW titles, just like the IBO title Pac won off Hat...

@ThisLittleBlackBook Then you obviously don't have that many fighters that 'come to mind' at all. There have been so, so many two fisted punchers as good, better, or nearly as good as those two guys. That's not meant to be offensive, just a general statement of truth.

Also, just as a side note in case; Just check out the trajectory of it as well as the speed. Gavilan's punch flies in at a million miles an hour whereas the moth just cruises in and then back out of the screen slowly and most definitely not straight as a mouth guard or something like plaster etc ...

@rgvhen What exactly do you mean wrong? He holds them perfectly. If you think that's wrong, you don't know what's right. He's got a very relaxed grip, fulcrum in the middle finger and thumb and perfect balance with his other fingers supporting. Maybe you're one of these guys that think a jazz dud...

@bigdaddydaug Nah, he's definitely not a jazz guitarist. He's a blues, rock player. A jazz guitarist, that does other genres, is someone like John Scofield, Pat Metheny. Jim Hall, Grant Green etc are jazz guitarists though. Very different from Santana who is pure blues and rock.

@frenchielcfc Unbeated?
