He had a good trainer , idk it would've helped much . Because he did most of his learning and developing on the road fighting in sparring sessions disguised as paid pro fights . He avoided sparring at gyms because he thought that's where most damage on a fighter takes place which he is very correct. A guy like him wouldn't been able to have all these fights if he was stuck sparring guys in gyms.
Another informative video ,I like that you cover the lighter weights and not obsessed with heavy weights , glad to hear about these more obscure fighters .
Great Movie! Thank You! hardly ever do i choose videos over 1 hour long, and mostly skip through alit of minutes. this was great, and i did not skip, but instead rewinded several times to see things twice and three times. keep up the good work!
The real strength for Buck Smith is that he had no problem essentially promoting himself, like wrestlers on the minor circuits who might only paid enough for their hotel room and gas for the night of the show if they were lucky.
*Great video. I learned a lot about this guy (Buck). He's definitely a grinder (or WAS a grinder). Thanks for posting such a quality video about an unknown legend. BTW, I just subscribed. 👍*
I got to see Buck “Tombstone” Smith fight in OKC and it was during my first live fight ever attending. Part of Sean O’Gradys fight promotions. He hit the body so hard it was scary.
@@samueldavis5895 It’s so much different in person especially if you get to sit ring side. How these athletes are able to withstand the punishment and pain is beyond my understanding. I’d love to go to Vegas and see something in person someday.
I saw this man fight on the undercard of a big HBO event.. might have been a De La Hoya Fight and he completely humiliated his opponent who was a hot young prospect.. I always remembered Buck Smith but never saw him fight again… his record was CRAZY!! Guess he was so good that the hot up and comers avoided him Like the plague…
i feel like this is sort of a window into how pro's did it in the past. they fought lesser opponents, more frequently, picking up experience and regular, smaler money, building for big fights . if you winnowed out the sparring time matches in between the big fights, their records would look similar to today's fighters, like 35-45 fights. instead of 100+ fights
Hey Hancho. I'm from Manila, PH, and I'm a big fan of your work. This is some of the best boxing history/documentary I've ever seen on YT (and everywhere else!) I follow you on IG too lol, and love your memework. More power to you, and can't wait to see more of your work.
The "one Korea" approach of the boxer @13:40 doesn't really seem "edgy", and seems likely to have been a safer/less controversial option than just representing North Korea. For example, both countries sing the song Arirang, which is "sung today in both North and South Korea, and represents the symbol of unity in the region that is divided by the Korean War." There have been unified Korean sports team at various events in 1991, 2018(in the winter olympics held in South Korea) & 2019, with athletes from both countries competing together in team events. eg: the unified Korean 500m women’s dragon boat team won gold in 2018 as the Asian games. He became a *South* Korean citizen in early 2007(& retired shortly after), and has remained as such.
Hes like an mma fighter, hungry and loves to fight, unlike many boxers of today, that is why mma will always be the better of the two, awesome video never the less 👌🏿
so many great boxing channels out there but hancho's the best. these mastercuts have been great and put you a level above; no other channel could i watch for hours straight. hooked from the first sight of that gorgeously aesthetic and beautiful intro. GOOD SHIT RIGHT HERE
Smith has perhaps the longest winning streak in boxing history. Between losses to Robert Wangila and Kevin Pompey Buck Smith went 102-0-0 (+ 6 NC's) 74 KO's.
@officehancho your master cuts are the best and because of you I like watching these Japan an asain fighters these guys get down keep up the great worl and detailed on these u known fighters people should know about
I always wondered how Hancho got his logo/watermark under the ring cover, in his intro, but never put much thought into just thought it was cool. It just dawned on me it's in reverse. Keep up the great work 👍 👏
@@OfficeHanchoBoxing Awesome, thanks for clarifying that for me. just watching when the best vs the best master cut. great work. I have learned so much watching these 4 or so years. thanks, OfficeHancho.
Buck Smith fought Julio Cesar Chavez and Kirkland Laing?? Impressive. I'm surprised I've never heard about him before. If only we had more fighters like him in boxing nowadays. He was more deserving of some of the big paydays that other fighters were getting back then. We've seen certain fighters getting millions, yet only doing a fraction of the work of Buck Smith, and losing in the process!!
I loved buck Smith. Hagler called him crazy when he fought on Tommy hearts undervard Marvin was guest commentator hahah bucky did a draw against Gold medal prospect from like Africa if I remember right. Great guy bucky
I take my hat off to Buck Smith all them fights and such a good record he fought some good fighters no matter what any one says his dedication his unheard of I hope he becomes world champion or at least got a shot at the belts he deserves it' just for all that dedication
Wow I remember the whole Masomari Tokayama fight circus from way back when. It didnt get a ton of US press but it was right around the time the Internet started to become readily available. Was a trip to follow and a real shame the way he was blackballed for his political allegiance
Boxers should SPAR LESS. Current fighters spar more than Sugar Ray Robinson, but underperform in actual fighters while accruing more brain damage. Be Like Buck Smith (and Jaime Munguia 😁)!
1:00:17 Calling it here it's a Fluke this seems like the same situation as Fury Nganou... Arrogant boxer thinks he can walk through unskilled "boxer" from another discipline and gets caught. No excuses!!! When you step in the ring you should do so with respect for; Craft, Opponent, Life, Health, Severe Injuries etc
Lol, people assuming Estrada was a bum. It says a lot about the weight classes south of featherweight or Jr lightweight when people assume someone as good as hes proven to be is a bum. I wouldn't have minded seeing Chocolatito win their second bout, but some of the scorecards in the first fight were so bad it kind of evens it out. Also, Brian Viloria was a fun fighter to watch. And great at skipping rope. Estrada is about as fan friendly a fighter you'll see though.
Michael Buffer has one F’ing job, and he gets paid *MEGA BUCKS* to do it…. How could he F that up !? I mean things can happen to anyone, and it may not really be his fault…. But such a simple job with such an easy system needed to get it done right … Btw … This guy Michael a buffer is one sly, smart, and devious cookie !! I mean he copyrighted the phrase “let’s get ready to rumble” didn’t he !? Insane, and good on him for making sure he got his game right !
Probably smarter to take real boxing matches instead of sparring, and kudos to Buck if someone is fighting that regularly theres no chance he has time to cycle on and off the steroids probably a clean fighter
Unfortunately in the boxing culture that had been created, people would shame Buck Smith . There are fighters who are literally doing that rn but be shamed on social. Up and comers being shamed and asked to fight a "real boxer" I don't understand what is a "real boxer" . I think the whole Paul thing sorta exposed the hypocrisy in our community. He's literally fighting guys who should be sparring partners or less in high profile fights for money and gaining experience at that if silly as that sounds . He's literally fighting Buck Smith level opponents if not higher.
@@OfficeHanchoBoxing I agree I actually watched him fight Anderson Silva and Silva was made to pay because Paul knew what he was doing in the ring, I think the alphabet titles makes casuals think that everyone is a nobody unless they are a world champion because title fights are so commonplace with most having less credibility than a world title should, I blame Don King etc who put everyones eyes on the prize and no interest of how they got there or the battle to win, same problem with Eddie Hearn and Dana White they never boxed or fought so they push their limited perspective focussed on titles and PPV numbers and everything else that isnt what people watch it for. If I see the skills of Emanuel Augustus or Buck Smith Im sold, appreciate the video about him btw. Boxing needs to be run by boxers or people who love boxing more than money (Teddy Atlas etc)
I HAVE THOUSANDS OF BOXING MATCHES FROM THRE 80'S AND 90'S AND I TRIED ONE TIME TO POST AND GOT A WARNING,SO I GAVE UP.hOW DO I GET A CHANNEL FOR BOXING WITHOUT GETTING BANNED FROM RUclips? ALL THE FIGHTS ARE FROM MY 12 FT. SATELLITE DISH AND ARE FEEDS,UNCUT STUFF...GREAT STUFF ! 1080P QUALITY !BEFORE THERE EVEN WAS HD !
He’s the epitome of a road warrior who still can still win fights. Road warriors often have a tough time winning fights because they often fight hometown fighters, and judges usually favor the hometown fighter than the road warrior in competitive fights.

Buck is an inspiration and an amazing example of simple sheer hard work
Yes! He is also an amazing example of dedication and love for boxing.
Also a great example of learning on the job lol
I remember him coming to England and laying out British champion Kirkland Laing in the 7th. Kirk did carry his hands low,mind
He had little for his passion but made a lot of it. He is a very big inspiration for many
@@venicec3310 on the job training.
I had never heard of Buck Smith but I'm glad I watched this video. The dude was a straight up machine.
Buck is a throwback fighter. Fighters today should take a page out of his book! You can promote yourself.
Love all the work you're doing brother, boxing needs historians such as yourself to preserve its rich and fucking insane history
Yes bro start a patroen I’m broke but I gotta support his
This is a great insight, I feel like late 80s and 90s boxing is very obscure and a very interesting topic. Hajime no Ippo vibes.
Bucky Smith especially. A boxer who traveled everywhere in his car taking dozens of fights a year to hone his craft and make steady income.
I was just done binging on the master cut videos when suddenly this drops lmao
Ahha what a gift
🤣🤣
same here
Re: Buck Smith - Basically decided he didn't want to spar for free. He got paid for sparring, good game plan.
Less wear and tear
OMG Imagine if Buck had a world class trainer!? Put him in the HOF, he's rhe spirit of boxing personified!
He had a good trainer , idk it would've helped much . Because he did most of his learning and developing on the road fighting in sparring sessions disguised as paid pro fights . He avoided sparring at gyms because he thought that's where most damage on a fighter takes place which he is very correct.

A great use of 90 mins.
The real strength for Buck Smith is that he had no problem essentially promoting himself, like wrestlers on the minor circuits who might only paid enough for their hotel room and gas for the night of the show if they were lucky.
The knowledge, the video editing, the comedy...this channel is pure gold.💰Keep up the good work sir. I will watch every video you produce.
Smiths training camp was right there at the venue. He polished his craft during the fights so basically he got paid for training ;)
Nice work straight up!! Buck needed to be remembered!! Props for giving your resources shout outs!!

Thanx,

Keep up the great work, easily my favorite boxing channel.
Never heard of Buck Smith and that’s a shame, what a trooper, too bad he never got widespread recognition. Most boxers these days are prima donnas.

Man, have I enjoyed these vid's & appreciate the hard work, research, patience and dedication it must have taken to put it together. Much respect.
Love the master cuts cuz u don't do quantity over quality n this shows it , ty for the good work thank you office HANCHO!!!!!

The "one Korea" approach of the boxer @13:40 doesn't really seem "edgy", and seems likely to have been a safer/less controversial option than just representing North Korea.

Your whole production of these videos are unbelievably good id love to see you on TV I’m all over your work
Man you have the best breakdown videos.. I love your research in boxing. I am going to join your advance membership club
56:25 thats something I always disagree with "you have to take the title from the champion", nope you just have to win more rounds.
Hancho da best boxing channel on YT.
Hes like an mma fighter, hungry and loves to fight, unlike many boxers of today, that is why mma will always be the better of the two, awesome video never the less 👌🏿
Never seen such good quality from such an underrated youtuber
Masterpiece of a video! Such a feel good watch after coming through the nothing burgers of boxing youtube.

How awesome would it be if more fighters had Buck Smith's mentality? This business would be so much more enjoyable!
Love the content bro keep it up boxing history is all here for the world to see respect from the UK new subscriber without a doubt 👊👍
124 wins with 2 losses and not a Hall of famer? Totally insane!!
He ended up with about 10 losses but near about 122 kos
He's a cherry picker according to the this new generation
@officehancho your master cuts are the best and because of you I like watching these Japan an asain fighters these guys get down keep up the great worl and detailed on these u known fighters people should know about
Boxing NEEDS a Buck Smith right now.
Amazing videos brother, great commentary and good editing! Much love and respect
Love the boxing history lessons
This is so informative I got to come back to it you keep it up bro I still subscribe to you.
Hancho: the winner will be set to fight Naoya Inoue
Me: so there is no winner
Buck is a legend in his OWN right. I wish a promoter bought him an RV.
4:51 vtec life
Yoooo been looking for this dude
You kind of feel his pain when he says "half a million views is alot even now". One day man, one day.
That tape moment was pure boxing.
Love the video, another certified hood classic, but the G Gundam remixes? Chef’s kiss
Brother your ability to overcome illiteracy to make videos like this is very impressive
I'm an Okie, i had no clue about this guy. What a legend. He's up there with Barry Sanders for me now.
Love these boxing 🥊
Buck should be in list of great fighters..like willie pep ,..
