Yes sir. Makes me sick his father wasn’t allowed to sue Panama and the rest. Fuck them. I used to fight. Cousin did too. Love it. But it needs BIG change. So corrupt it’s sick.
Michael Harrison you obviously never been hit by a real man. One who can punch. In the face. With bare hands. But Collins was being hit by something harder than a fist. Basically a brick. Collins was one of toughest I’ve ever seen in that fight.
Could have been Clenbutorol. It’s a horse asthma medication that athletes still use today to gain a endurance advantage. And yeah, if you’re tired, you’re not tired anymore.
I agree with you but you know how business run on that "money world" honestly ;they all knew what happened, R. I. P, ALEXIS ARGUELLO, you were the man, the clean champion.
Naw, in that time you had to earn everything, use every advantage, overcome every obstacle, then you EARN the title of champion! They took drug test before and after each fight, there was no complaining because both corners would do whatever they needed to do to help the fighter!
Panama Lewis gave Aaron Pryor Primatine pills in water. I remember watching the bout and seeing Alexis hit him at the end of his punch full extension and snapping his head and neck back. Aaron was out or should have been out cold sleep and nothing. Aaron was wide awake and possessed punching back returning fire in volume. Alexis was what is he on? Hit Aaron with everything and zero affect.
@@bigpopalapa.2219 I watched both bouts live. I know about Primatine from all the professional boxing trainer's I grew up around and in my family former boxer's. It was utilized at that time and before the bouts. I was 19 and 20 at that time.
Brian Brown bullshit! It have to be inhale for quick results. He was monitored in the second fight and he destroyed him. This guy is a complete failure. He is putting it on Panama.
I love both Arguello and Pryor, both are legends, I was a teenager when they fought and I watched the fight, a lot of people don't know that Alexis broke his right hand while hitting Pryor flush to the face, any other fighter would have been out cold, I remember one right hand snapped Pryors head straight back , you could tell he was hurt but I believe that he just couldn't feel it because he was hyped up on something, let's be real, you don't mix water with NOTHING, especially in boxing, so we all know that there was SOMETHING in that bottle, and I believe that until this very day...
more then that, Pryor was heavy into cocaine, and I highly highly doubt he would cold turkey stop cocaine before a fight, otherwise he woulda came out flat as hell. It also why Pryor had a short career. heavy into the coko - same with SRL and Tyson, short primes
back then they allowed alot of things. Duran had smelling salt in his corner. Now that's illegal. A lot of fighters had smelling salt. I don't think it was illegal (then) what aaron pryors trainer did

Are you surprised? I truly believe, as a matter fact fk that . Not believe , I know for a fact they still doing that shit till this day . Roids. Tampered gloves . Magic super power water bottles, this is a business before a sport . I hate when they do that crap, using these so called vitamins, they got their so called body nutritionist is want they call it now ?

All got losses on their careers but are all gifted a few wins to not loose their piggy bank money .. the sport of boxing today is trash .. watch UFC or bare knuckle fights .

Don't get me wrong the skill is there , but it's just not the same when everyone is on clean condition.
I met Louie Resto in the BX, 188th St & Tiebout, the bar on the corner, Mendoza, the daytime bar tender, was an old man & we used to talk boxing all day in the 90's.... I didn't even drink but, used to spend mornings & afternoons talking to Mendoza and when the Resto / Collins fight came up, he mentioned knowing Louie & set up a meeting! Louie was cool, let me hold his championship belt & denied any wrong doing. This was before "Assault In The Ring" was filmed.
I feel for Resto but in the end he has nobody blame but himself...He knew what Panama was doing with his gloves but rather than showing some integrity and character he went along with it for selfish gain at the expense of someone's health and well being....
The black bottle may have given Pryor a boost, But it didn’t take away anything from His stamina. I saw both fights back in the day. Alexis hit Aaron with straight right hands hard enough to snap Pryor’s neck. A jab is not a power shot to the forehead, but enough of them could be paralyzing. Arugello would have needed to remain on his feet, and just maybe he would have gotten a split decision.
Resto hasnt explained it well. The mixed asthma tablet drink didnt provide an energy boost; it opened up the lungs, thus making a boxer breathe easier in the later rounds. I suspect that the active ingredient was a bronchodilator which relaxes the lungs and widens the airways (bronchi).
A lot of nonsense here. That stuff makes you breathe and get oxygen in your body but it doesn't make you any stronger. This is pure witch hunt silliness. Pryor was always perpetual motion and Alexis was a very calculated and proper fighter. The problem for Alexis was style not the bottle. Pryor was all over him and didn't wait for Alexis to set up. Pryor overwhelmed everybody this way. Panama Lewis was a sleazeball and he definitely put something in the bottle. Did the additive decide the fight? I doubt it but it likely helped Pryor.
Da mix, da mix....Da Special MiX!!! That's the Mix we're Speaking about....And what else would you need besides energy!? A little Hart and that goes a long way!!!
Correct about Albuterol. it would have taken 2-3 minutes to take effect. But if there was a fast release stimulant in the bottle, it would act fast with a boxer late in a fight because the body is working 1000% to get everything it can get to feed. Science, man. Cheers.
Collins É UMA LENDA DO BOXE!!! RESTO é tão FRACASSADO que nem trapasseando, jogando sujo com as luvas de gesso, comprimido na água conseguiu derrubar Collins em 10 rounds, sinal de que o Collins noucatearia essa ruína humana nós 5 primeiros segundos. O fantasma do passado irá te perseguir até seu último suspiro.
Pryor knocked Him out faster in second fight after they checked all the bottles. He did not need anything to knock People out. He was a great fighter period.
Only one question for you, When Aaron pryor visited our country Nicaragua many years ago, Alexis asked to pryor gave a little drink of your bottle ia a way friendly, pryor be quiet, he could answer. I saw the Pryor eyes's , he became blind and crazy, this is power of Alexis. Aaron Pryor because of fight with alexis became crazy and blind I¡m not kiddy with you, it's truly. He's fake it the black of cincinnati,
Every time this comes up there is some idiot that says Pryor knocked him out faster the second time. You don't think the first knockout took anything out of Arguello who was already long in the tooth? What Lewis did was illegal and he was caught dead to rights. The only defense would have been that he didn't actually say that and HBO dubbed a voice in. If Lewis said that you probably would have believed that. The ONLY question is if Pryor knew it which going by what Manny Steward said he almost certainly did, Lewis and Pryor were garbage and you're a moron. That's why you barely made it through high school.
Pryor was the better fighter at 140 Period. Any Boxing expert knows that. You are the idiot. So Pryor Won all His fights on Drugs and became champion? The Guy was a great fighter period. He was a true 140 pounder Arguello was not. And He proved it by beating Him twice.
Pryor did not win that first fight fairly and only his diehard fans could deny that he did! Arguello beat him badly until the bottle was given to Pryor for an extra boost. Arguello was one of the great champions of his era, a fighter in the strictest sense-- Pryor was not! Pryor got hit a lot and was very unorthodox, acted strangely in and out the ring and probably should have been under strict medical care for much of his boxing career. He just was a very, very troubled fighter and his relatively early demise to overindulgence with drugs verified it !
It's a shame Pryer cheated cuz we'll never know who would have won in a fair match between Pryer and Argello. Although Pryer DID win the rematch fairly.
Pryor was downed 7 x in his career by bums, the straight right Alexis threw bent Pryors head so far backwards, it touched his back and he laughed it off, that's being high as a kite, never felt it, bums put him down and he laughs the hardest Punch I've ever seen him take, no way.
I get it that's wrong. But Pryor was always a beast since his amateur courier. He always had a chin like rock he even took Tommy Hearns shots. Honestly he had Alexis number... ADD helped Pryor.
It's "The TRICKS of the Trade". EVERY Sport has them. But, "The Bottle" is ILLEGAL ! Thats NOT fair. AARON did damage to ALEXIS ARGUELLO. GLAD He recovered GREATLY. ALEXIS IS A CLASS CHAMP !
I belivevthis is presto another dirty fighter of Panama he's the one who beat Billy to death most in the ring Panama toke the padding out of his gloves
Yes like Luis Resto will say something negative about that dirty Panama Luis. They both should be ashamed for using dirty tactics and should had been put in jail for attempted murder. Ironically after that incident "give me the bottle the one i mixed" Pryor end up with drug problems. Too bad Pryor was never investigated or tested after the Arguello`s fight. He got away with it.
This comes out 37 years later after both Participants have died. Aaron Pryor won the fight and most fans at the time couldn’t accept Arguello’s defeat. #hawkTime
Didn't need it in the second fight! The damage was already done and Pryor left the first fight without being checked for any illegal substances in his body!!!!
PLEASE ! That fight DID NOT make THE GREAT AARON PRYOR. What happened in Pryor vs Arguello 2, huh?(And GREAT RESPECT to ALEXIS ARGUELLO) And why did Sugar Ray, Hitman and the WHOLE Division move up in weight class away from Pryor? Enough said.
Your ignorant, No one moved up, Pryor went Pro as a LW, then ran from a stacked LW division the best in boxing at that time to the worst division in Boxing, Hearns started at WW and moved up from there, Leonard began at WW and moved up from there, Duran was great at LW before Pryor's time, moved up to WW before Pryor won the JWW title, , so your comment is totally clueless. In December 1980, Pryor rejected an offer of $500,000 to fight Sugar Ray Leonard for the WBC welterweight championship because he wanted more money. When the WBC raised the offer to $750,000, he rejected that as well.[3] Pryor signed to fight WBC light welterweight champion Saoul Mamby in a unification bout for $1 million. The bout was tentatively scheduled for February 7, 1981. However, the fight fell apart when the promoter, Harold Smith, disappeared amid allegations that he was involved in a $21.3 million fraud against Wells Fargo National Bank. Smith, whose real name was Ross Fields, was later sentenced to ten years in prison after he was convicted of 29 counts of fraud and embezzlement.[4][5] Pryor was then offered $750,000 to fight Roberto Duran in April 1981, but Pryor turned it down because his new attorney told him not to sign anything until he worked out a new contract with manager Buddy LaRosa. By the time they worked out a new agreement, the chance to fight Duran was gone.[6]
Aaron Pryor was just as busy a puncher in the amateurs. He beat Hearns in the amateurs. Also, Panama Lewis was bad for boxing with all his illegal stuff.
@@fitz3137 Where did you get the idea Leonard ducked him, he had everything over pryor, he beat Hearns and hagler dam no way he avoided a guy with short arms and height, Lol!

Oh yeah! It was definitely an amphetamine. It is still a major ingredient in Sudafed; therefore, also a base ingredient for cooking Meth. Amphetamines were given to German soldiers and Luftwaffa pilots to increase their stamina and power. As soon as we learned of it, we started giving it to what were our "Special Forces" at that time.
Gone Ballistik it was a year later and Pryor had Emanuel Steward as his trainer at that point. I don’t think Arguello was ever the same after their first fight, either. The rematch doesn’t prove that cheating didn’t occur in the first match. However, I think Pryor could’ve won without the cheating, too. He was a sensational boxer.
@@smoothALOE the first fight ruined arguello, the damage taken due to Pryors cheating messed up arguello. Alexis would have won the first if Lewis didn't give Pryor that bottle.
Well, he didn’t do it the 2nd fight and. Alex was not a natural 140lb. And most guys don’t take their punching power with them when they move up. And the best fighters were dirty fighting
Yes it may have been too much of a move up for Arguello. But to say Pryor didn't do it the 2nd fight...well he just hid it better the 2nd time. Because they knew people were watching more intensely. Arguello knew it but what could he do.
@Naji.....that is exactly what I have been telling people about these fights for years. Aaron "The Hawk" Pryor was just a bigger and better fighter. Alexis Arguello is a HOFer himself but Pryor was non stop motion throwing punches in the ring.
Have you ever heard of a beaten fighter, Alexis threw it all at Pryor in fight 1 and had no clue how a weak chinned guy could take those power punches, and keep coming, his heart and soul were stolen in fight one, he was beaten before he entered the ring in fight 2, and yes Pryor was high on something before, during and after every fight but the Young fight.
Aaron was my personal trainer from 1999 till 2000 he's not a cheat and said the black bottle was just water Aaron was great because he was one of the hardest working as in training that's were is energy came from he said if you fought 15 rounds you did 15 rounds of jump rope 100 push ups set ups for each round you fought and bag work on top of 8 to 10 mile run no sex he believed in no self gratification true
@@alexanderhall3064 Only dummies like u that don't have a clue about boxing or Pryor, he never fought anyone but an old Cervantes, and aging arguello over 30 and getting close to the end and well over his best weight of JLW, that's it, he never even unified his own weight class with Mamby, LOL!, he ran from a stacked LW division and never fought anyone, LOL!
@@Rspenesmit We can certainly disagree. I dont mind but why call me a dummy? I do not believe any of the name lightweights like Mancini or Edwin Rosario wanted any part of Aaron Pryor. By 1982, Leonard and Hearns were finished in the welterweight division. So who was left that would have been a major attraction to the networks?
"Before he went to the ring, he was drinking that" It absolutely taints that victory...many say, well look what happened in the rematch...yes, Arguello had no spirit in the 2nd bout, he was toast !!
You damn right, the ring don't lie, Pryor bodied that Alexis! No excuses. He sat on his ass after Aaron put all doubts aside, no request for another rematch, Alexis rather fight ten grizzly bears than Da Hawk!
It's not right to taint a man's legacy with no proof. Aaron beat Arguillo twice, why didn't they check his blood?? Going by speculation we can doubt every fighter from then until now.
Panama Lewis was a scientist of the science from every angle 🥊🥊🥋✨✨🦉✨✨🥋🥊🥊 you must understand it's professional fighting and winning is the goal for the gold. Like it or not Panama Lewis was in his man corner.amd knew a trick or two. King Boxer 🥊🥊✨🥋✨🥊🥊
The last person that deserved to be cheated and beat up was alexis he was genuinely great humanbeing outside of the ring like he said pryor would've been KO and Alexis would've kept his undefeated record and less damage but was cheated out of that, can you remove someone from the hall of fame for cheating cause they should
Yea everyone 'BUT' Aaron said this ' I didnt know abt it so I said 'LETS DO IT AGAIN & WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED ' , CASE CLOSED., 'NO MIX ALSO DID THE 'SAME TRICK '👁👁
Aaron Pryor was a great, great champion. Underrated on the same level as James Toney. Alexis was also great but Pryor was better and would have won against Arguello 10 times outta 10.
That right hand landed by Arguello had that particular sound when he hit Pryor,but Pryor didn't go down,so,there had to be something he had in his body to take a knockout blow like that,Mike Tyson probably could've hit Pryor with the same exact punch and hecstill wouldn't of gone down,figure that one out!!!!!
Am now convinced Pryor was given ephedrine against Arguello and possibly against Antonio Cervantes. No question but that Pryor was a great fighter but this casts a dark shadow on one of the great fights of the 80's. A tragic end for both greats with Pryor ruined by drugs and a despondent Arguello either committing suicide, or quite likely, murdered by the Sandinistas

Damn pansy's, need all these work out methods to win in a fight , but naturally they can't achieve what they achieve these days , it's crazy, like pacciao , he's like 8 divisions a champ ? Man get the hell outta here . Floyd. Canelo. You name them , all of them cheaters. All got losses on their careers but are all gifted a few wins to not loose their piggy bank money .. the sport of boxing today is trash .. watch UFC or bare knuckle fights . At least you get what you pay for . People come to fight and not bitching about rehydration clauses , side A, side B nonsense . Don't get me wrong the skill is there , but it's just not the same when everyone is on clean condition.
I met Louie Resto in the BX, 188th St & Tiebout, the bar on the corner, Mendoza, the daytime bar tender, was an old man & we used to talk boxing all day in the 90's....
I didn't even drink but, used to spend mornings & afternoons talking to Mendoza and when the Resto / Collins fight came up, he mentioned knowing Louie & set up a meeting!
Louie was cool, let me hold his championship belt & denied any wrong doing. This was before "Assault In The Ring" was filmed.
Makes complete sense. Like quartercep mushrooms. It opens up your airways so you can absorb more oxygen and not get tired
No, like benzedrine inhalors. Different than albuterol today. Way different effect. It's speed. Like amphetamine.
I feel for Resto but in the end he has nobody blame but himself...He knew what Panama was doing with his gloves but rather than showing some integrity and character he went along with it for selfish gain at the expense of someone's health and well being....
The black bottle may have given Pryor a boost, But it didn’t take away anything from His stamina. I saw both fights back in the day. Alexis hit Aaron with straight right hands hard enough to snap Pryor’s neck. A jab is not a power shot to the forehead, but enough of them could be paralyzing. Arugello would have needed to remain on his feet, and just maybe he would have gotten a split decision.
Pryor was hyped up on speed, he would have lost if he didn't cheat... period
Yea but you can't do that in pro boxing. They were right to sanction Pryor for it.
@@GabrielDeMfromNY and the rematch without abottle how do u explain that
In fact, in the second fight, Pryor and Panama were baptized by the Pope of Rome and they became little angels.@@MalcomKayitare-iv3qp
Resto hasnt explained it well.
The mixed asthma tablet drink didnt provide an energy boost; it opened up the lungs, thus making a boxer breathe easier in the later rounds. I suspect that the active ingredient was a bronchodilator which relaxes the lungs and widens the airways (bronchi).
Its still cheating, and he did many times, at the cost of many other boxers careers.
Resto explained it fine. Stacey Mckinley said the same thing
He did not need it to knock him out even faster in rematch. Bunch of excuse making crybabies.
@@hotwheel6663 wtf are you on about, Collins never fought again.
Muppet.
It also increases the heart rate, thus making it a stimulate.
amphetamine was used for asthma back in the day...thats what was in the bottle
A lot of nonsense here. That stuff makes you breathe and get oxygen in your body but it doesn't make you any stronger. This is pure witch hunt silliness. Pryor was always perpetual motion and Alexis was a very calculated and proper fighter. The problem for Alexis was style not the bottle. Pryor was all over him and didn't wait for Alexis to set up. Pryor overwhelmed everybody this way. Panama Lewis was a sleazeball and he definitely put something in the bottle. Did the additive decide the fight? I doubt it but it likely helped Pryor.
That extra oxygen couldn't given him the boost heneeded
The “mixed” bottle is apparently only a placebo to trick the fighter into trying harder! Albuterol, lol yeah that’s a super PED - hilarious!
Bennies man not Albuterol. That's entirely different . This was the 80s
Respect to Resto for coming clean, though his background was as awful as it was. Panama Lewis was one of the dirties people in boxing history.
Da mix, da mix....Da Special MiX!!! That's the Mix we're Speaking about....And what else would you need besides energy!? A little Hart and that goes a long way!!!
I was raised in his hometown, Juncos, PR. He doesn't represent me or the majority of junqueños. Shame on you Luis Resto.
U can't drink something and it take hold in a matter of a few min. It would have to pass threw your liver
Ashma pills you can. Esp w your blood pumpin. This resta cat is saying it worked for him lol
BS
Correct about Albuterol. it would have taken 2-3 minutes to take effect. But if there was a fast release stimulant in the bottle, it would act fast with a boxer late in a fight because the body is working 1000% to get everything it can get to feed. Science, man. Cheers.
@@Ididntaskforahandleyoutube Nothing, i repeat nothing on earth unless injected, smoked, or snorted will take hold as fast as whatever he "took" did.
I agree. The fans at the time could not except the fact that Aaron Pryor won the fight. He wasn’t the “right “ guy
Step on your feet 🦶 is the same way we used in 🥋 Taekwondo
I'm here because they were discussing this on the Joe Rogan Experience 🤔
The thing is, Pryor didn't need the mixture. He was beating Alexis up. The one thing Pryor didn't need was something to give him energy.
Collins É UMA LENDA DO BOXE!!! RESTO é tão FRACASSADO que nem trapasseando, jogando sujo com as luvas de gesso, comprimido na água conseguiu derrubar Collins em 10 rounds, sinal de que o Collins noucatearia essa ruína humana nós 5 primeiros segundos. O fantasma do passado irá te perseguir até seu último suspiro.
Disse tudo
Se eu ver ele pessoalmente eu chamo de assassino
Pryor knocked Him out faster in second fight after they checked all the bottles. He did not need anything to knock People out. He was a great fighter period.
Only one question for you, When Aaron pryor visited our country Nicaragua many years ago, Alexis asked to pryor gave a little drink of your bottle ia a way friendly, pryor be quiet, he could answer. I saw the Pryor eyes's , he became blind and crazy, this is power of Alexis. Aaron Pryor because of fight with alexis became crazy and blind I¡m not kiddy with you, it's truly. He's fake it the black of cincinnati,
Every time this comes up there is some idiot that says Pryor knocked him out faster the second time. You don't think the first knockout took anything out of Arguello who was already long in the tooth?
What Lewis did was illegal and he was caught dead to rights. The only defense would have been that he didn't actually say that and HBO dubbed a voice in. If Lewis said that you probably would have believed that.
The ONLY question is if Pryor knew it which going by what Manny Steward said he almost certainly did, Lewis and Pryor were garbage and you're a moron. That's why you barely made it through high school.
Pryor was the better fighter at 140 Period. Any Boxing expert knows that. You are the idiot. So Pryor Won all His fights on Drugs and became champion? The Guy was a great fighter period. He was a true 140 pounder Arguello was not.
And He proved it by beating Him twice.
Pryor did not win that first fight fairly and only his diehard fans could deny that he did! Arguello beat him badly until the bottle was given to Pryor for an extra boost. Arguello was one of the great champions of his era, a fighter in the strictest sense-- Pryor was not! Pryor got hit a lot and was very unorthodox, acted strangely in and out the ring and probably should have been under strict medical care for much of his boxing career. He just was a very, very troubled fighter and his relatively early demise to overindulgence with drugs verified it !
@@leonardcharles59
Pryor was the greatest 140 lb fighter of all time.
At last!! I said to everyone sitting with me watching the fight, something isn't right with that bottle!!
It's a shame Pryer cheated cuz we'll never know who would have won in a fair match between Pryer and Argello. Although Pryer DID win the rematch fairly.
🤣
Or did he?
"Fairly" ?
I died when said proyer would of went to the ceiling with that uppercut if it wasn’t for the bottle 😆
Pryor was downed 7 x in his career by bums, the straight right Alexis threw bent Pryors head so far backwards, it touched his back and he laughed it off, that's being high as a kite, never felt it, bums put him down and he laughs the hardest Punch I've ever seen him take, no way.
Pryor was tenacious, always high in the fight & cheated.He didn't have great skills in my opinion, he was sloppy but it is what it is.
Drugs in this category can cause dilation of the bronchial muscles. Beta2-agonists are often used to treat asthma.
I get it that's wrong. But Pryor was always a beast since his amateur courier. He always had a chin like rock he even took Tommy Hearns shots. Honestly he had Alexis number... ADD helped Pryor.
It's "The TRICKS of the Trade". EVERY Sport has them. But, "The Bottle" is ILLEGAL ! Thats NOT fair. AARON did damage to ALEXIS ARGUELLO. GLAD He recovered GREATLY. ALEXIS IS A CLASS CHAMP !
Was
He was “The Gentle Man of the Ring”
I belivevthis is presto another dirty fighter of Panama he's the one who beat Billy to death most in the ring Panama toke the padding out of his gloves
Luis Resto
Luis Resto may be the villain in this story, he also has my sympathy. In the end he for sure lost the most. Why Collins died is speculative.
Speculative? I guarantee Collins wouldn’t have died if it wasn’t for Resto.
Let’s be honest here. Drugs been in boxing for decades.
But he stopped Alexis earlier in the second fight?? Give Pryor his due, he was a great Hall of Fame fighter.
Jus makes you question how much fights he cheated in and how many of em Pryor would’ve lost if he didn’t have stimulants/performance enhancers.
Agree 100%
Why did they never put any restriction to Aron from boxing if they new this or remove his belts
Yes like Luis Resto will say something negative about that dirty Panama Luis. They both should be ashamed for using dirty tactics and should had been put in jail for attempted murder. Ironically after that incident "give me the bottle the one i mixed" Pryor end up with drug problems. Too bad Pryor was never investigated or tested after the Arguello`s fight. He got away with it.
Quote::: Da MiX , da mix, the Special MiX!!😣😳😒
This comes out 37 years later after both Participants have died. Aaron Pryor won the fight and most fans at the time couldn’t accept Arguello’s defeat.
#hawkTime
Lol everyone knew he cheated and it shouldn't have meant shit.
I was 12 years old when i saw the fight. Till this day i think Aaron Pryor cheated! To me Alexis Arguello was the Winner 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
what about the rematch? there was no bottle that was mixed
Arguello was so brutally KO’d in the first fight ! Very difficult to recover from such a catastrophe.
Nothing to do in the second fight
Didn't need it in the second fight! The damage was already done and Pryor left the first fight without being checked for any illegal substances in his body!!!!
PLEASE ! That fight DID NOT make THE GREAT AARON PRYOR. What happened in Pryor vs Arguello 2, huh?(And GREAT RESPECT to ALEXIS ARGUELLO) And why did Sugar Ray, Hitman and the WHOLE Division move up in weight class away from Pryor? Enough said.
Your ignorant, No one moved up, Pryor went Pro as a LW, then ran from a stacked LW division the best in boxing at that time to the worst division in Boxing, Hearns started at WW and moved up from there, Leonard began at WW and moved up from there, Duran was great at LW before Pryor's time, moved up to WW before Pryor won the JWW title, , so your comment is totally clueless. In December 1980, Pryor rejected an offer of $500,000 to fight Sugar Ray Leonard for the WBC welterweight championship because he wanted more money. When the WBC raised the offer to $750,000, he rejected that as well.[3] Pryor signed to fight WBC light welterweight champion Saoul Mamby in a unification bout for $1 million. The bout was tentatively scheduled for February 7, 1981. However, the fight fell apart when the promoter, Harold Smith, disappeared amid allegations that he was involved in a $21.3 million fraud against Wells Fargo National Bank. Smith, whose real name was Ross Fields, was later sentenced to ten years in prison after he was convicted of 29 counts of fraud and embezzlement.[4][5]
Pryor was then offered $750,000 to fight Roberto Duran in April 1981, but Pryor turned it down because his new attorney told him not to sign anything until he worked out a new contract with manager Buddy LaRosa. By the time they worked out a new agreement, the chance to fight Duran was gone.[6]
You're a fool if you don't think Pryor cheated in his other fights. Guarantee he was cheating the whole way through his dirty crooked career.
@@Rspenesmit PREECH!
In fairness Aaron could absorb most right hands. Also Alexis had gone up several
divisions. His power was much less at light Welter.
Aaron Pryor was just as busy a puncher in the amateurs. He beat Hearns in the amateurs. Also, Panama Lewis was bad for boxing with all his illegal stuff.
Aaron Pryor was a very busy volume puncher and he defeated Thomas Hearns in the amateur's.
@@DEZINE5 Hearns @ the time was an anorexic barely 17 y/o and 4+ years younger than Pryor.
@@fitz3137 Yes I know that fact.
@@DEZINE5 So fast forward 5 years and Aaron wouldn't have been able to get to him. However, Leonard did duck Pryor.
@@fitz3137 Where did you get the idea Leonard ducked him, he had everything over pryor, he beat Hearns and hagler dam no way he avoided a guy with short arms and height, Lol!

Oh yeah! It was definitely an amphetamine. It is still a major ingredient in Sudafed; therefore, also a base ingredient for cooking Meth. Amphetamines were given to German soldiers and Luftwaffa pilots to increase their stamina and power. As soon as we learned of it, we started giving it to what were our "Special Forces" at that time.
But y'all forgot that Pryor gave Arguello a rematch, and knocked him out in The 10th.
Gone Ballistik it was a year later and Pryor had Emanuel Steward as his trainer at that point. I don’t think Arguello was ever the same after their first fight, either. The rematch doesn’t prove that cheating didn’t occur in the first match. However, I think Pryor could’ve won without the cheating, too. He was a sensational boxer.
Still doesnt change the fact he cheated in the first fight
@@smoothALOE the first fight ruined arguello, the damage taken due to Pryors cheating messed up arguello. Alexis would have won the first if Lewis didn't give Pryor that bottle.
PRYOR IS A CHEAT AND DISGRACE, SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE IBOH
Well, he didn’t do it the 2nd fight and.
Alex was not a natural 140lb. And most guys don’t take their punching power with them when they move up. And the best fighters were dirty fighting
Yes it may have been too much of a move up for Arguello. But to say Pryor didn't do it the 2nd fight...well he just hid it better the 2nd time. Because they knew people were watching more intensely. Arguello knew it but what could he do.
FYI: They had a 2nd fight. NO BOTTLES, beat him worse. Pryor is really just a better fighter.
@Naji.....that is exactly what I have been telling people about these fights for years. Aaron "The Hawk" Pryor was just a bigger and better fighter. Alexis Arguello is a HOFer himself but Pryor was non stop motion throwing punches in the ring.
Once a Cheater always a Cheater!
@@amp12345amp and you have no clue about boxing or pryor so shut up dummy.
Back then a lot of fighters got away with drugs.
But there was no black bottle in their second fight tho...
Have you ever heard of a beaten fighter, Alexis threw it all at Pryor in fight 1 and had no clue how a weak chinned guy could take those power punches, and keep coming, his heart and soul were stolen in fight one, he was beaten before he entered the ring in fight 2, and yes Pryor was high on something before, during and after every fight but the Young fight.
Everyone knew Pryor would have lost badly if he didn't take rocket fuel before a fight
It's epinephrine it gets you zooted for a few minutes gets your wind back
The way he won that fight Was Super super human.
So what happened in the second fight when Pryor beat Alexis even worse lol
Arguello fired Eddie Futch. That's what happened
That doesnt mean arguello didnt deserved to have a better chance in the firts one
Because Arguello was ruined after the first fight, moron. You honestly need that explained to you?
@@sevfan1 100% correct, you could see it on his face as he entered the Ring.
@@Rspenesmit watched that fight in a bar in Detroit. My buddy Mark was devastated when his hero Alexis was defeated in that first fight.
That is Luis Resto.
Aaron was my personal trainer from 1999 till 2000 he's not a cheat and said the black bottle was just water Aaron was great because he was one of the hardest working as in training that's were is energy came from he said if you fought 15 rounds you did 15 rounds of jump rope 100 push ups set ups for each round you fought and bag work on top of 8 to 10 mile run no sex he believed in no self gratification true
Paid informant. The Hawk roughed up The Hit Man and Sugar, both bigger than Alexis Arguello.
Oj was innocent cuz I. Black and that's all there is to it
Aaron Pryor was one of the best ever. Most couldn't accept Alexis being defeated
@@alexanderhall3064 Only dummies like u that don't have a clue about boxing or Pryor, he never fought anyone but an old Cervantes, and aging arguello over 30 and getting close to the end and well over his best weight of JLW, that's it, he never even unified his own weight class with Mamby, LOL!, he ran from a stacked LW division and never fought anyone, LOL!
@@Rspenesmit We can certainly disagree. I dont mind but why call me a dummy? I do not believe any of the name lightweights like Mancini or Edwin Rosario wanted any part of Aaron Pryor. By 1982, Leonard and Hearns were finished in the welterweight division. So who was left that would have been a major attraction to the networks?
Aaron Pryor = amazing fighter amazing fights amazing drinks. After allegedly drinking the black bottle, he turned into the Wolverine in the X men.
pryor knocked him out in less rounds in the rematch
Exactly and every bottle was checked. Just cry babies making excuses for losing.
@@hotwheel6663 yes but there are always ignorant uninformed fools like you around to post stupid crap
Wooooow! Don't know where you found this? Louie Resto would know for sure.. Great vid...
Thats luis resto the man who killed billy collings by cheating in a boxing match while pamama louis was his trainer
"Before he went to the ring, he was drinking that" It absolutely taints that victory...many say, well look what happened in the rematch...yes, Arguello had no spirit in the 2nd bout, he was toast !!
You damn right, the ring don't lie, Pryor bodied that Alexis! No excuses. He sat on his ass after Aaron put all doubts aside, no request for another rematch, Alexis rather fight ten grizzly bears than Da Hawk!
Wherever there is a lot money involved, there's nothing too low or too illegal. Just bribe the right person and let the lawyers handle the blow back.
He's talkin about primatene tablets I've heard Panama Lewis tell the story
When you tire u no more tire u wanna kill da guy ! He be like dat 💊🥊🍹
I freaking knew it Alexis was on his @22 and he just would quit after he hit Arron with the Kitchen Sink
Can't you do the same with smelling salts? Once inhaled, you can revive an unconscious person. Pretty strong stuff!
Dope opportunity. Good shit.
It's not right to taint a man's legacy with no proof. Aaron beat Arguillo twice, why didn't they check his blood?? Going by speculation we can doubt every fighter from then until now.
Bruce vane brought me here, boxing is one dirty sport
That is mild compared to what other trainers do in the corner. One guy used to put plaster inside his fighters gloves.
Uhm, thats literally what Panama Lewis did to Resto against Billy Collins Jr.
Panama Lewis was a scientist of the science from every angle 🥊🥊🥋✨✨🦉✨✨🥋🥊🥊
you must understand it's professional fighting and winning is the goal for the gold.
Like it or not Panama Lewis was in his man corner.amd knew a trick or two.
King Boxer 🥊🥊✨🥋✨🥊🥊
The last person that deserved to be cheated and beat up was alexis he was genuinely great humanbeing outside of the ring like he said pryor would've been KO and Alexis would've kept his undefeated record and less damage but was cheated out of that, can you remove someone from the hall of fame for cheating cause they should
Yea everyone 'BUT' Aaron said this ' I didnt know abt it so I said
'LETS DO IT AGAIN & WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED ' , CASE CLOSED., 'NO MIX ALSO DID THE
'SAME TRICK '👁👁
That's clenbuterol! Opens up the alveoli so you can breathe better. We use that on horses!
Aaron Pryor was a great, great champion. Underrated on the same level as James Toney. Alexis was also great but Pryor was better and would have won against Arguello 10 times outta 10.
These days we have red bull
Stacey Mckinley said the same thing which backs this up
That right hand landed by Arguello had that particular sound when he hit Pryor,but Pryor didn't go down,so,there had to be something he had in his body to take a knockout blow like that,Mike Tyson probably could've hit Pryor with the same exact punch and hecstill wouldn't of gone down,figure that one out!!!!!
Am now convinced Pryor was given ephedrine against Arguello and possibly against Antonio Cervantes. No question but that Pryor was a great fighter but this casts a dark shadow on one of the great fights of the 80's. A tragic end for both greats with Pryor ruined by drugs and a despondent Arguello either committing suicide, or quite likely, murdered by the Sandinistas
