Rambling about boxing is good! Glad I'm not the only one.

I don't know if anyone in the late 1980's was referring to it then as someday being looked at as the good old days!, But that's how I'm looking at it now.

Not only were there solid matchups taking place most weekends on ABC, NBC, and CBS....but they sometimes were on at the same time! Oh...how I wish that was a problem I could complain about today!!!

And they were good fights.

I remember (or at least think I do) a fight between Bobby Czyz and Willie Edwards taking place as the same time as a fight on another channel. I want to say Evander Holyfield vs. Henry Tillman, but that seem to good to be true. I watched it with a girlfriend at her house on Valentine's day. Or something like that. Would switch the channnel back and forth (by hand!) not wanting to miss a KO blow.
