@AlBernstein Iconic! I watched a tape of this years later from my dad and I was blown away. I loved your work covering the 4 kings. ❤️

So, 41 years ago today right now I was in my hotel room at Caesar's Palace going over my notes for this broadcast. We all knew it would probably be a great night for the sport, but no one could have known just how much it would live on as one of the most iconic moments in the sport's long history. These two men added a major piece of what made them legends in the sport. It was an honor to be able to chronicle this with Al Michaels.

Ray Leonard, moved up in weight to fight a Jr middleweight champion who was 36-0(18 KOs) -- as a tune-up before he fought Thomas Hearns. Yeah, that's how good he was.. #boxing Sugar Ray Leonard (USA) vs Ayub Kalule (Uganda) | Boxing Fight youtu.be/m-bQlzlJFxQ?si… via @YouTube

STRIKE 14: TAKES2 SZN 2

Man…that’s great fighter throwback. I remember KO magazine had a cover with Ray and all that 90s classic heavyweights coming up. Mercer was tough if I recall correctly I think he was an army veteran. I always wanted to see Mercer against Bowe, Tyson, and a match against Foreman in that era would have been insane.

Merciless Ray was my favorite heavyweight up-and-comer in that group of early 90s badasses

@MarkEOrtega Boxing and music- you are living the dream!!! ❤️

@dougiefischer I have this issue. I was obsessed with the post Hagler fight version of Ray’s career. Lalonde, Hearns II, Duran III. Great cover!

🙌

@Akai_Pro I just bought the Live III and now I must have this one 🔥

@MikaelaMayer1 @trboxing @ToddDuboef Love this! Class act! ❤️🔥

I want to thank my @trboxing family for an amazing 9 years together. I absolutely would NOT be in this position today if it wasn’t for their guaidance. They helped develop me into a 3 division World Champion and I will forever be grateful. To @ToddDuboef …thank you for taking that meeting with me all those years ago. For believing in me and for believing in womens boxing. 🙏🏻

25 years ago today, J Dilla released “Welcome 2 Detroit”

@SteveKim323 “Its a cookbook” - iconic line from that episode

Is what's taking place now in #boxing like the Twilight Zone episode ''To Serve Man''? My latest Substack offering, You can subscribe at stevekimboxing.substack.com #boxing Biting the Hand that He Once Held? open.substack.com/pub/stevekimbo…

@SteveKim323 That broadcast team and and Larrys’s monologues were just works of art. I need to go back and watch that. Side note Watch the HBO broadcast in studio interview for Leonard vs Duran III! Marchant and Leonard have some cool chemistry and Merchant is hilarious.

so Im re-watching the Tyson-Douglas HBO broadcast (research for an upcoming column on my Substack) and Larry Merchant noted how Japan paid $6 million for that fight -- more than 4X's what US casino's were offering He called Japan, ''the land of the rising Yen." 😂😂😂 Larry could turn a phrase... #boxing

This is the Roland Boss SP202 the legend Mike D of The Beastie Boys gave me for Christmas many years ago. I’ll never part with it and it really helped my journey. @RolandGlobal

The legend Bruce Forat restored my SP1200 and added a filter mod to it. It’s such a great instrument! We used @Ableton Push 3 which has been the go to device and hub for Dragon Lair Studios

This @Akai_Pro MPC 2000 was given to me by my guy @kutmastakurt he did all of the Grand Royal, Beastie Boys remixes on it. Forat helped me restore it and now it’s in the drum machine rack forever protected and grateful to big bro for this!

Taxi Driver was released 50 years ago. Bernard Herrmann died hours after recording the score. Scorsese listened to the playback the same night. That haunting jazz theme is literally the composer’s final work, and it gives the film a ghostly, elegiac edge.
