Curry was punch perfect here. Standing in front of Jones, eye's fixated on him waiting to strike. Never wasted a shot or a single movement. The cobra indeed.
@LeftyOtool Until he ran into lloyd Honeyghan and got a pasting in 6 rds and all the sad excuses came out.Curry took the Honerghan fight mistake by him
I liked Curry, but I never had him as P4P No 1. I had Hagler as the best - Hearns & McCallum were above Curry as well. Hagler had better movement & work rate, & was never a stationary target. Curry posed peek-a-boo in front of his opponent too much. Curry got away with it against textbook boxers who threw straight punches, but as soon as he came up against boxers who were wise enough to punch whenever he shelled up, & go around his high guard, as Honeyghan, Norris, McCallum & Nunn did, he was found wanting. A Hagler/Curry bout would have been lucrative, but Curry would have been destroyed if that bout happened. & I won't begin to say what Hearns would have done to Curry.
Two real good fighters. Curry was a natural, this was before he changed his style and started holding his head up and getting knocked out. Jones had started to slow down by the time he fought Curry. Guys who fight like Jones don't have long careers. Jones was smart and got out at the right time.
Curry at that time was amazing a real sharpshooter, gunslinger. He was on top but Jones was firing back it was really shaping up to be a great fight. It’s a pity about the cut because Jones was the type who always got stronger as the fight went on. Curry would have probably prevailed though he was a borderline great at that time.
well said mate but i think curry after round 10 would have been very tired due to weight ,colin would indeed have got stronger and i think the big punch might have stopped curry,colin could take a big shot and was very very tough such a shame about he cut
This shows just how good Curry was. To move Jones backwards and around like that. And to instil a look of apprehension into Colin`s eyes. THAT took some doing. No other fighter could have done this to Colin Jones. With the possible exception of Sugar Ray Leonard.
@@HarryHeath-pb6rv I can`t agree. Lloyd was on fire that night. I genuinely believe he would have beaten or gone the distance in a very close fight with any welterweight that there ever was that night. And I`m including SRR & SRL.
Curry at the time was considered to be one of the pound for pound best fighters in the world. I remember Ring magazine talking about him fighting Hagler.
Remember our whole extended family watching this. (Before boxing went on pay tv and became more niche). Talk about screaming and shouting. Stirring stuff indeed. Gutted for Colin but readily acknowledging Curry’s skills.
Colin was a fantastic boxer curry was a prize fighter I am a cousin of Colin so my grandfather told me when I was young I tried to get into boxing but I had epilepsy so I had to give up the dream but Colin had a heart and determination of a lion and proved that you can be a king no matter on your size and also the mountain in front of you can be knocked down colin respect to you and the rest of the family if William Jones that was married to my grandma rachel and lived in Shawforth Lancashire I'm so proud of you and would like to see you soon take life like a knock out get up and fight for your beliefs xxx
To stand in front of Colin AND move him around,......I NEVER thought I`d see that happen. Nothing Colin did backed Curry up. Astonishing, because Colin could deliver destructive blows with both hands.
Impressive performance from a champion, who wins fair and square, so morons boo him and throw bottles. Well done UK! Jones reminds me of Dave Boy Green in that it's a shame each never quite won a world title back when world titles actually meant something!
Sadly, I honestly believe that Colin met Curry at his absolute peak. No other fighter could have made Jones back up like this. And even Colins power didn`t make Donald take a single backward step. Shame about the cut, it could have developed into a truly great war. But Curry was always a step ahead.
I'm a cousin of Colin so my grandfather told me when I was young and I agree with you but our colin was a boxer that had nothing to prove and had fought time and time again and it was the time for don and yes don was fresh and a hell of a fighter but not a boxer with the heart that colin had I'm so proud of what he achieved in boxing come on the Olympics then turned pro and went all out European and British champion what a fantastic journey he was on respect for your comment it's good to see that people still care about the great things that happened year's ago THANKS and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. ..
@@markmellor3102 Enjoyed reading your comment Mark. Something I forgot to mention in my original comment was the look/expression of intense concentration on Donald`s face; It`s clear he knows he cannot afford to make ANY mistakes against Colin, because he knows if he had, he`d have been in all manner of trouble.
@@markmellor3102 Great comment - loved Colin and all top British boxers at the time as it was impossible (due to finance) to get World Class boxers here. He beat Kirkland twice after walking through his bombs. Colin beat McCrory first time no doubt in my mind.
I am gutted to hear you have been banned by greedy short sightedness. Some of your uploads were my first opportunity to see these since watching them live at the time. Thanks for your efforts.
Yeah I loved watching the Cobra this was the prime! When he lost to Honeyghan he was weak and drained who knows but he could have been distracted by a female and he had to lose wieght to make the limit. Curry was a great fighter
I agree that Curry looked good her but that static style was always going to be his undoing eventually. No lateral movement and a bit predictable - he got away with it because of his speed of punch. Was never the same after losing to Honeyghan.
Colin had lost a bit of his fire by this time, he didn't have the careful matchups because he operated out of Wales without the benefit of the big U.K. Managers of the time, the money was too good to turn down this opportunity
I really liked Curry, he boxed with such surgical precision. It’s a pity he was never quite the same after Lloyd Raggamuffin’ Honeyghan roughed him up and head-butted him out of the ring in 1986
superspatchcock ? Agreed, isn’t that what I said? Honeygans gamble with Curry’s weight issues paid off. The headbutt still looked a bit ‘accidentally on purpose’ 😂 but that’s not to take way from Honeygans amazing effort and prep for this golden opportunity.
It was the weight loss that beat curry , more than it was honeyghan, honeyghan beat 2 light welter weights, before starling and mark Ireland kicked his arse
Jonesy was one of my all time favourites but he was a little too cautious in this fight. Lloyd Honyghan fought Curry and went at him from the first bell and Curry couldn't handle the relentless onslaught, as nobody had done that to him before. You can't out think Curry in the middle of the ring, Jonesy didn't have that skill, so he should have gone at him full tilt, make it an ugly brawl and who knows then?
Apparently the fights really started after this main event with the Welsh fans kicking arse in the stands against a lot of London lads so I’ve heard. Real big punch up !!!
Don Curry was such a skilful pound for pound boxer who wasn’t welterweight for nothing. The Long Range Cobra knocked out Colin Jones and Milton McCrory but he eroded when he lost to the two JA Lloyd Honeyghan and Mike McCallum. McCallum known for his attacks to the body knocked out Curry with one left hook so cold and Curry wasn’t the same.
Unfortunate that Jones didn't get a third fight with Milton Mcrory but instead had to face Donald Curry at his peak.... Any other welterweight in the world Colin jones would have defeated on this night.
Watt was rather disrespectful, although Curry was the better fighter, Jones was still in there giving a good show until bridge of his nose was so badly cut, also Colin said he had so much fight left in him, (still looked at very decent fighter), but never fought again, he was only in his mid twenties?
Your comment is one big contradiction. Jones was getting tagged left and right. The punches he was taking was so much harder than the ones he was given it was so obvious. You find fault with the fight yet the guy never faught again which means it was a good stoppage. If you think that was a good showing because he had so much left in him it is laughable. Dude sounds like he’s already punch drunk here.
Colin Jones had the heart of a Lion, a great fighter. Don Curry is perhaps one of the greatest wastes of talent in boxing history. Some argue that due to the fact that he had over 400 amateur bouts, he peaked too soon. Nonetheless a very gifted fighter.
"Wastes of talent?" I think you're putting it the wrong way bud. 2 division champion, a Hall of Famer? Now his brother? Yes, he had the talent and potential yet never got serious.
Colin was a notoriously slow starter and Curry was massively over rated as the ragamuffin proved not much later, felt so sorry for Colin - easily Britains best fighter to never be a world champion - i have no doubt that he would have walked Curry down by the end of the fight - real shame
The “overrated” Curry obliterated McCrory within 1.5 rounds, while Jones went 24 with Milt…hitting the deck and losing. Yet, Jones woulda beaten Curry eventually? Idiot sh*t.
@@amc7185 I hear what your saying. But styles make fights. I also have a sneaky feeling that had this fight gone into the last 5 rounds Colin could have done something sensational. Don`t forget the Korean Hwang decked Curry two years before this.
It would definitely been very interesting. Colin was notoriously a VERY slow starter. He would have got stronger, and if one of those left hooks to the body had got through...........
Jim Watt was very disrespectful, he only become World Champion because Roberto Duran moved up from lightweight to Welterweight. Duran would've KO'D him inside 3 rounds. Duran beat Ken Buchanon to win the title in 1972 and Jim Watt LOST to an old Buchanon in the early 1980's in an all Scottish fight. Watt still talks rubbish today. Surely we've got better ex-boxers who talk sense (mind you, Froch is a clown).Colin Jones was very unlucky NOT to have been World Champion, McCrory was lucky in both fights -dodgy actions in the corner after round 9 TWICE. We all know that the 9th was Colin Jones favourite 👊
Hi BM. To compare Jim watt with Duran is a bit harsh. Duran IMO was greatest LW of all time. Buchanan IMO was best post war British boxer alongside Calzaghe. Let’s celebrate these good fighters not denounce them.👍
Nothing lucky about Watt's career. He lost a pretty close, competitive decision to Buchanan when Buchanan was still considered one of the best fighters on the planet, pound for pound. And Watt was ahead for a long time in that fight before Buchanan went to work on the body. Watt was roundly expected to lose to Nash and especially to Howard Davis, who'd won Olympic gold in '76 and was voted the best stylist of the Games, ahead of Ray Leonard. Davis was also one punch away from beating Edwin Rosario in later years. Virtually nobody went the distance against Arguello in Alexis' successful title fights, either - but Watt did. I don't understand the constant derision Watt gets.
@@chriswilliamson7694 watt was a very good fighter in a v v tough era.his reign is mighty impressive...reminds me of frochs run of wins.....u dont see back to back tough fights like tgat in boxing anymore...u see it in ufc tho especially womens bantam division
If they didn't want fans throwing things into the ring then they should have asked Curry to show a bit more dignity and humility after his opponent was prevented from fighting on by the ring side doctor, instead he pranced around like a clown with a plastic crown on his head!

Boxer's have a timeline of peaking and right here he would've destroyed to Honeyghan
Hearns
Well lloyd honeyghan put him straight.
Flawless victory Curry was at a great level here this was vintage DC
Curry was pound for pound the finest boxer in the world at this time. An absolute masterclass.
I agree. Did you know that Mills Lane says Curry was the most talented fighter he ever refereed?
col always started slowly - i have no doubt after what Lloyd did that Jones would also have caught up to him
@LeftyOtool Until he ran into lloyd Honeyghan and got a pasting in 6 rds and all the sad excuses came out.Curry took the Honerghan fight mistake by him
I liked Curry, but I never had him as P4P No 1. I had Hagler as the best - Hearns & McCallum were above Curry as well. Hagler had better movement & work rate, & was never a stationary target.

Curry was awesome, a different league to Jones.
