“Welcome to the fight of the week” is not something you hear anymore 😢 Make Boxing Great Again!
Even Donny Trump can't make boxing great again.
Boxing is pretty great right now
@@markydan1232never can match the old school era tho..
@markydan123 no it's good rn, boxing was great before
This is actual greatness....Georgie Benton vs The Hurricane. Benton is one of my favorite boxers...he was masterful...and The Hurricane was just that...The Hurricane.

Hurricane is a legend, not only did he beat his opponents in the ring he also beat his court case where he was wrongfully convicted, now that's beast mode.
Those attorneys and the little boy believed in him won his court case against racist cops who set him up.
Yeah there a movie on him with Denzel Washington
Love this. I could watch fights like this in b/w all day. Notice that this is what true middle weights look like. These guys look like welterweight’s today be cause of the rehydration.
@@sparkspark2314 the day before fight weigh in changed boxing. And not for the better. Roy Jones used it better than anyone. He never went into a MW fight at less than 175/180. Remember HBO gave him a free ride. Pick your opponents. And he always refused the request to be weighed before the fight. His opponents often did. The day before was a big advantage for the normally bigger guy. When Roy fought in the proper division LHW, he got cold cocked by two good but not great fighters in Johnson and Tarver.
Also look at size of the gloves in this film. Much smaller, probably 6 or 8 oz. The bigger gloves just allow the fighter to take more punishment. My late friend a contender in his weight class, 76 professional fights, told me while the bigger gloves were used allegedly to protect fighters the unintended consequences are they are worse.
These were two great fighters right here.
It’s easy to understand why it was difficult for George to get fights. Like Charlie Burley years before him, he slick and tricky. He’s a great defensive fighter who hits hard. I spoke with him many times when he was with Lou Duva. He was a quiet man. Very well spoken. I felt terrible when he suffered from dementia the last years of his life.
That was some very skillful fighter's...
George benton Philly shell stance pure sweet science 💯
Yeah, they say he created the Philly Shell.
@@kobiecamp1134 He actually didn't created it, but he was the first to bring it to boxing.
Boxers from yesteryears (especially 40's to 60's) are really much better in terms of skills than boxers of today's. Most world champions today are not even half as good as those contenders before. Benton and Carter both failed to win a title but don't be fooled, THEIR skills are on far with the All Time Greats. That's how good boxers from yesteryears.
People treat it as the most modern must be the most skilled, but it is not always the case.
The Men Of That Period (My Dad) Were Different Physically (Lighter/Stronger Pound 4 Pound), More Aggressive, Mentally Tougher. The Aforementioned Attributes Along With Trainers That Had 60 Plus Years In Some Cases Of Experience Is Why Every Fight Was Of A Higher Caliber. Inside Fighting, Slipping, Parrying, Hooking Off Of The Jab, Balance, Ferocity...THOSE DUDES WERE KILLERS 👌🏿.
I disagree. You had excellent champions, journeymen, and tomato cans in every era. There are a handful of fighters in every era that stand out and would be competitive no matter when they fought in history.
I think the main difference is the expansion of other amateur sports. Boxing is a TOUGH way to make a living, but in the 30s-60s, it was immensely popular and lots of spectacular US athletes went into boxing. As basketball and football have expanded in popularity and provided increasingly amounts of popularity, college scholarships and professional opportunities, boxing has declined in this country. Today, the many of best American athletes dream of excelling in other sports,.our amateur programs have declined, and more great boxers come from other countries
@@latymzexcept they have more all time greats from the 1900s-1980s than they do today and it’s not because there was more time. It’s because all the athletes had fewer profitable sports to play. NFL and NBA money didn’t become crazy until the 80s and 90s.
Judges outside both scored for Hurricane based on his aggression, but Mercante, who was actually closest to the action, scored for Benton, who was cracking Carter with short shots inside.
LEGENDARY
Great fight!! I could study these 2 from sun up to down 💯💯
Excellent Fight!!!!
Great video.
These guys are really, really good. Boxing one of those sports where it did use to be better in the old days
Great video.I always knew that George Benton was a great trainer but had know idea that he was a former pro. He had some really solid defensive skills.Which really stymied Carter's usual windmill style.🥊🥊🥊👍

Great Fight 😳👍💪😁
Is this the guy who sang give me the night GOAT 🐐 song
Benton was definitely the better fighter. He just chose not to be aggressive a lot of the time for some reason. Funny thing is when he boxed guys aggressively , he usually did pretty good. Who knows.
nice
What a great fight ,I had it 5/4/1, Carter boxed well against a master technician,he wasn't just a slugger

Very good man, thanks for watching and commenting your thoughts and score on Benton vs. Carter. Benton was Great. Inspired future champs too. Carter is my hero.
Thank you I love your channel, I think Rubin got the shot against giardello because he beat Georgie, btw giardello Vs hagler ?
High lvl iQ’s from both fighter
It’s always upsetting to me when I hear of someone who was convicted of a crime without substantial evidence and they serve many years until they realize he was innocent. You can’t get back those years.
That's where you guys are mistaken. He was never acquitted for those murders. In fact, the evidence was quite strong against him. He was convicted twice, then on appeal a judge found some impropriety and left it up to the state for a third trial. They decided that after such a long time witnesses were would few and far and their memories weren't as good. So, they decided it wasn't worth it and he was let go. Don't believe that garbage movie.
Terrible been black
@@scottodonnell7121so u saying he did it
@@marcusredd4229 he was convicted twice by juries of his peers. Yes he did it.
@@scottodonnell7121 source
Ironically, Lou Duva screwed Georgie out of his title shot, he was supposed to fight Dick Tiger for MW title, giardello got the shot, Duva was the Match maker apparently
DANGGG
SOULJAH ROCKER
Philly besides paterson had great fighter's gorge benton was a great defense of fighter look at Pernell Whitaker defensive style a lot of it came from George Benton
Not really. Benton popularized the Michigan/Philly shell defense but he is NOT the creator of it. The style/techniques already exists as early as 40's in Philadelphia. The style was created to compensated the lack of stamina training that most Philadelphian amateur (and some professional) boxers problem during that time. Most of them drive cabs so they have little time to do some road works. They created this technique to conserve energy.
But in reality, Philly shell are more like an evolved form of the shoulder roll defense which already exists much, much earlier. There are counts that the great master Joe Gabs uses shoulder roll. Sugar Ray Robinson also is a master of Philly shell defense and the one who actually taught James Toney of this defense.
@@raulratonmacias1377 ✌️💯✌️
You mean Benton.... We're not talking about music here!
@Donald Hall ok big bro benton not Benson its always good to have collage professors on the net
@@raulratonmacias1377 what you mean? Gans did not use the “Philly shell” he was just a counter puncher who ducked and whatnot he was just fast and quick pretty much.he didn’t use his hips combined with the shell defense itself, were talkin standing there bein able to block a combination of punches using your shoulders arms and hands covering the body along with hip movement turning the body, Benton did do just that, yes they changed the style but definitely Whitaker was trained by Benton and pernell and others like Toney took it into their own style of it( Toney combined his with his he bob n weave motion to the side)
Both these guys look bigger then middle weights they look like 190lbs
Right? I've seen less muscles on most cruiserweights
Looks like floyd vs mike
THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS. HURRICANE OVER ALI ANY DAY.
Ali was a Heavyweight. Carter is a Middleweight.
Slow down son
Boy kick rocks chump

Most people don't know him, that he invented The Philly shoulder roll. Floyd Mayweather Stole it, didn't give credit to George Benton . Benton was even a better trainer
annoying, he also doesnt give roy jones credit, when you watch mayaweather early in his career, he uses long gaurd, hands down alot also, almost like Roy jones, mayweather is basically a mix of roy jones and george benton especially in the first half of his career
Called it "the Floyd guard" because he learnt it himself...that means when we all learn English we shall say "this is *insert name* language because I learnt it" Floyd was nice on his records,but his personality stinks lmaooo
these guys cant hit echother both too skilled lol
Benton won all day long . Took less damage hurricane last 30 secs stars firing 😂
Hurricane won split decision was a close battle, but Hurricane out-punched Benton. Benton needed the win, too.
Hurricane may have been the reason they would always call Benton the uncrowned champ.
@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 definitely don't think denzal played hurricane in the movie where he got stitched up with a murder he didn't do
@@alextop1850i had a stroke reading that
Somewhere in the audience sits that racist sheriff... ! 😐
& judges...they enjoy seeing 2 black warriors pounding each other...but despise when the great white hope fighter gets the crap beat out of him!!
