This epic battle between Leland Hardy, Founder and Original Registrant of www.NEWYORK.com, and then undefeated Ike Padilla was the Madison Square Garden "Fight of the Year" in 1989 and was listed by Boxing Scene Magazine as one of the "Top 20 Fights of the 80's." Reminiscent of Foreman vs. Lyle, Hardy vs. Padilla is considered by most pundits of the sport to be the single greatest non-main event 'club fight' of all times and showed Hardy's indomitable spirit in his overcoming two knockdowns to score a sensational one-punch K.O. victory in this classic. The punch is considered the greatest uppercut thrown in the history of the Garden. The entire share of all proceeds from the public's downloads of this...

Heard a rumor that Mr. Hardy is going to make a comeback. I saw him a couple of months ago at a charity benefit and he looks great!

I remember this fight vividly and had it on tape for a long time but you know what happens to old VHS tapes. Good to see this one again. I miss the old Felt Forum cards on Madison Square Garden Network.
