Seeing as Conteh liked a night out and had done throughout the 1970s it’s incredible that he was still world class.
Johnny boy, looking back with unbiased eyes,as a teenager, you where a split decision, only just loss, world Champion still to me, thanks, inspirational, motivational,to My Life.thanks again.xxx❤🏴🇬🇧👑
I remember watching this fight as a kid from the UK. Loved John Conteh. I thought he was great that night.
I give it to Conteh especially if they are using an illegal substance on the eye of Saad
An absolute disgrace even UK judge Harry Gibbs gave it to Muhammad
I was at this fight and it was an amazing spectacle to witness for a young 18 year old boy... I'll never forget it. As I remember it, the action from 11 rows back seemed so very much faster than it looks here.
I was there, too. Drive down from NYC with a couple of friends. You are right. Fights often look different when you seem them live and then again on tape.
I trained at the Wellington alongside John he was a great fighter and funny as well.
These two were not calling the fight live and they still screwed it up. In 1977 Saad fought Marvin Johnson for the NABF title and won it in a 12 round KO; in 1979 he fought Johnson again, this time for Johnson's WBC title which Saad won in 8 rounds. How they could confuse these two fights when they are watching a tape is beyond me.
This is the Superbouts telecast, not the original ABC network showing with Chris Schenkel.
You can tell these guys are announcing this after the fact.
@@tb7214 the show was top rank fights of the 70,s
Am I wrong or does Conteh move like Michael Spinks a bit?
Ye he does move like spinks! Was spinks a southpaw? Spinks was awkward as hell
Yeah, I can see that. Similar upright style and excellent jab. But Conteh didn't have the Spinks Jinx right hand power. Conteh was less awkward, more of a classic European style upright fist-fencer.
Conteh better
who were was the other commentator? and what was the name of this tv programme great fights of the 70s? Can't find on youtube
Saad definitely deserved to win because of the knockdowns but is was a close call
Yes it was close but agreed, Matthew did enough to keep his belt. Hats off to both men for showing a lot heart.
That fight should've been a draw.
Remember watching this live on TV. Conteh had a hand injury- didn't throw a meaningful right in the entire fight.
Yes. Can't believe none of the commentators picked up on it.
FUN FACT: MATTHEW SAAD MUHAMMED COULD'VE BEEN CLUBBER LANG, BUT HE TOLD STALLONE HE WASN'T INTERESTED!!
Good fight but I had Conteh up by 2
Robbed
But was a great fight
Fair play to Mohamed he battled through adversity and finished strong
Still think conte did enough but judges do like to see who finishes stronger
19:00..wtf man...
what
Dengrs
Harry Gibbs you should be ashamed from the UK makes it even worse payment must of been nice
MSM one the world title from Marvin Johnson in April of 1979 in Indianapolis this fight is August 1979 get it right gentlemen WTF
That is won the world title
The judging was disgusting. The knockdowns aside. Conteh easily outboxed Mohammad.
Close fight.
يكبر الله اكبر. الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر
Muhammed is spelt m-u-h-a-mm-e-d
So what get a job u bum
Matthew spelled it Muhammad as did Ali, Dwight Qawi and Eddie Mustafa. The Prophet's translated name was also the same.
