Paulino Uzcudon the other Basque heavyweight and Fleisher was forever stuck in<br />
past. If I find the exact article on his suicide, I will let you know.|<br />
|1/31/03 12:34:12 PM|Carl Weingarten|TJQF||TJQF||||10|Thanks for the great story<br />
on the Mathis fight. According to Mr. Jimmy, the <strong>Quarry</strong>-Mathis fight video<br />
does exist, and the Mathis family claimed to have a copy. James told me that he<br />
had contacted the Mathis family at one point to negotiate getting a copy, but<br />
they refused. James did acquire a number of videos directly from Bill Cayton,<br />
and I was also able to get several second-generation videos from private<br />
collectors, but the Mathis video never surfaced. This is definitely a lost<br />
classic. Buster was a great fighter. He beat Frazier twice in the amateurs,<br />
and through the first half of his professional fight with Frazier, he<br />
outmaneuvered and outbox Joe more successfully than Ali did. Buster was very<br />
skillful, and had amazing speed for a man his size. Hopefully there will be a<br />
change of heart with the Mathis family, and both fans of Buster and <strong>Jerry</strong> can<br />
see the video. I'm glad you guys like the new site. --Carl|<br />
|1/31/03 01:48:40 PM|Mark Sargeant|uk||lpu00mts@reading.ac.uk||||10|thanks for<br />
the replies to my earlier post about Riddick Bowe. Firstly, I had absolutely NO<br />
idea that Bowe had beaten his wife. I had to search a lot of material for this<br />
but you were right. I absolutely detest this and as a result my opinion on Bowe<br />
the man has plummeted. Such an act is only done by real scum and if I had known<br />
about this I would not have made such positive comments. Sorry. I maintain my<br />
admiration for Bowe the boxer though. Thanks|<br />

checked around -- Jose Urtain was 49 when he killed himself in Madrid.|<br />
|1/31/03 03:55:32 PM|Steve|N.J.||dmmsrm@comcast.net||||10|I read somewhere,I<br />
forget where,a story in which Joe Farris stated that Ike Cayton and himself saw<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong> <strong>Quarry</strong> knock Norton out in a training session.Anyone have more info. on<br />
that? Hey Evren,What I meant by single mindedness is being able to stick to your<br />
opinion or the facts if you know your correct.Forest,that's a great story on the<br />
Mathis fight.I enjoy getting that kind of information.even with pay-perview,nothing<br />
beats the excitment of being at ringside at a live fight!I don't<br />
think anyone condones wife beating,and I agree that guys like Mike Tyson<br />
,Bowe,and Tony Ayala are little better that thugs.However,I don't care!All I<br />
care about is how they perform in the ring.I'm sure Ron Lyle must have done<br />
something wrong to serve all those years in prison.He was,however,a very<br />
exciting fighter to watch.Boxing is a brutal business.Most participants are not<br />
angels. |<br />
|2/1/03 05:23:41 PM|Evren|London||@||||10|I recently watched Urtain's bout with<br />
Henry Cooper and felt he was very limited. He was also very very rough, but when<br />
Henry returned the favour he lost heart. That was his first loss other than an<br />
earlier DQ to Alfredo Vogrig.Other notable fighter he met were:-Jurgen<br />
Blin(WPTS15,LPTS15,),Greg Peralta(LKO8),Jack Bodell(WKO2),Jose<br />
Roman(LPTS10,DPTS8)Richard Dunn(WKO4),Vincente Rondon(WPTS8),Alfredo<br />
Evangelista(LKO5), Jean-Pierre Coopman(LKO4). He died by throwing himself from a<br />
10th floor window.Not sure if anyone heard but James Broad the 80's contender<br />
died penniless a few months back. Also recently we have lost Chuck Davey, Paul<br />
Pender and Vince Martinez. |<br />
|2/1/03 07:07:38 PM|forest ward|south carolina||joekevin@cs.com||||8|I am<br />
somewhat surprised about the interest in Urtain. It was reportd a few years ago<br />
shortly after Urtain committed suicide;that he was very depressed over the fact<br />
that his career was a sham and that he was a homosexual. And as a result he<br />
killed himself. I am sure as is the cases with most suicides the truth lies<br />
somewhere in the middle and we will never know the reason why.|<br />
|2/2/03 03:08:13 AM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||oriononside@aol.com||||10|Very sad story<br />
about Jose Urtain. It seems his whole life was surronded by lies. About his<br />
prowess as a boxer and apparently also about his personal life. However, I hope<br />
some people don't read into it that boxing was a source of his problems. Anybody
