College & Electric Youth - A Real Hero (Drive Original Movie Soundtrack) YouTube video by Valerie Records

You know that song "a real hero" from the movie drive? For some reason my brain has always played it as "a real beavis babe... and a real butthead."

I'm just saying you could be watching this video to see if Roy Jones Jr. wears more Beavis and Butthead shirts. Only one way to find out!

I couldn't resist opening and closing the script with references to the songs.

"When they stole his gold medal in seoul korea" to "nobody could touch him" haha

It is never too late

What a damn fight, eh?

While I generally like to clip stuff I watch and share with you all, I think it'd be a wiser decision to watch @remymac.bsky.social's James Toney video. Listen to him tell you about this fight with far greater knowledge than I have.

Glad you enjoyed it!

The next two episodes are part of a wider arc on the rise, fall and rebirth of Toney.

Hes one of my favourites ever, it's a hell of a ride.

Could you please stop what you're doing and consider watching the newest amazing video from @remymac.bsky.social and his Combat Co-op?
youtu.be/bnXp6dZiMUo?...

One of the great "what if?"'s of the sport. Was mandatory for Oscar De La Hoya for a few years but couldnt get the fight made. Would've been a very tough fight for Oscar!

Hope you enjoyed it!

How To Beat The Best Fighter In The World, Twice - Year Of The Fighter: Vernon Forrest 2002 YouTube video by Combat Co-op

@remymac.bsky.social dropping another gem on us!

Crazy end to a crazy fight.

A cut man wearing a paper crown with a picture of Oscar De La Hoya in the center of the crown. He has a hand steadying Oscar De La Hoya's head as he rubs an enswell on De La Hoya's face.

Shane Mosely's back as he returns to his corner. His cut man is wearing a windbreaker unzipped, a white t-shirt underneath and holding a towel in his hand as he prepares to work on Mosely between rounds. He is wearing a Naval dress hat.

Let cut men wear awesome hats!

Helluva 12th round from Shane Mosely and Oscar De La Hoya!

Such a good fight. Enjoy!

How Tito Earned His Crown: Felix Trinidad - Year Of The Fighter 2000 YouTube video by Combat Co-op

Going into 2000, the sport of boxing revolved around 4 men.

Shane Mosley, Roy Jones, Oscar De La Hoya, and Felix Trinidad.

After closing the 90s with a controversial win over Oscar, Felix entered the 2000s seeking greatness.

Great eye!

Thats really nice too!

I love the central lamp post and the big sky scraper next to each other

Same photograph, cropped to the posts, in a washed out, slightly silvered tone

I think ive got it!

Washing the colour out a bit, makes it sort of timeless without sacrificing the contrast.

High contrast black and whire portrait

Yeah I like that a lot! No cut off lamp posts and draws the eye to him.

Hes such a fun figure to play around with in editing. Just the contrast of his outfit with the beautiful white stone behind him.
