European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - December 22, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse Thursday december 22,1988 the stars and stripes Page 19 commentary Golden oldies tarnish boxing s image its been a big week for nostalgia in boxing. First about five years too late promoter Lou fal Cigno and his partners at Warner Brothers pay to put together a fight Between Ray Boom Boom Mancini and Hector Macho Camacho. Then the very next Day Bob arum arrived with Roberto Duran against Iran Barkley for the wac middleweight championship. All we have to do is put rocking chairs in the Corners instead of stools and open the Gates. If the fans buy this senior citizen per Mccla. They la buy anything. Mancini has t fought in four years. Camacho has Only been Toke Only Active with five fights Over the last three years. Duran retired three limes since 1980. Earned his shot at Barkley s title with five victories Over the last two years against people named Victor Claudio. Juan Carlos i Muncz Ricky Stackhousr i aul Thorn and Jeff Lanas. Boom Boom and Macho Wouldhave been an attraction in 1984. In 1989, it is Little More than a curiosity. Duran once was a marquee name. Now he seems in a race with sugar Ray Leonard for most comebacks. Mancini Camacho is set for March 6 in Reno Nev. And if you want to watch it at Home you la have to pay $19.95. Which is High but still a lot better than the $250 it will Cost for a ringside seat. Now Why would you pay that much to Sec this fight now five years after it would have been interesting it s entertainment Mancini explained. People paid $30 for icon they paid nothing for a Host of belter fights before pay per View and closed circuit technology turned boxing into a studio sport. They re peddling this fight in the perfect place. Warner Brothers after All is where bugs Bunny works. To dress his show up Falcigno is talking about having Mancini Camacho sanctioned As a 140 Iran Barkley right was 7 years old when Roberto Duran started fighting. Pound title fight by the who another recently in vented boxing ruling body which is just what we All s also hinting about an undo card that could include George Foreman and perhaps Barry Mcguir for the Mancini Camacho Winner is Aaron Pryor who like everybody else in this Busi Ness is on the comeback Trail again after beating up some poor Anonymous soul in Rochester last week. How s that for nostalgia at least arum s Duran show carries the Imprimo Leur of a legitimate title fight with Barkley risking his wac middleweight Crown against old hands of Stone. That s 37-year-old hands of Stone. Barkley was 7 years old when Duran first punched somebody else for Money. The challenger s advanced mileage apparently does not disturb the promoter. Here he is again arum exulted when he introduced Duran As Barkley s Chal Lenger for the feb. 24 defense in Atlantic City. One of the greatest fighters of the recent past still campaigning and still very very Good once was t Good enough for a title shot. It is now though. Duran has been through three retirements tying him with Leonard for the modern record. In 1980, he walked away in the Middle of his second fight with sugar Ray. In 1982, he again decided he had enough of this foolishness after he lost a title fight to Wilfred Beni Liz. And in 1984, he filed for his boxing pension once More after being knocked out in two rounds by Thomas Carns. Now he s surfaced again. Arum knows that cynics May not look kindly at Wheeling Duran out again so he s Flushing out this card with the professional debuts of four olympic medallists Robert Wangila of Kenya and americans Ray Mercer Kennedy Mckinney and Michael Carbajal. Mercer the promoter promised is the Man who some Day will beat Mike did not say when. And Here s the really Good news. This Duran Barkley card carries a bargain basemen Price. Ringside scats Cost just $200 and the pay per View lab is a Mere $14.95. That Means if you buy arum s show instead of the Falcigno Warner pack age you la have Money left Over.
