The word underrated is one of the most thrown around words these days but it applies to Starling. Great Boxer, hardly ever mentioned
Starling had one of the greatest quotes I ever heard in an interview
He said in the 2nd round breland broke my nose..in the 11th I broke his heart...or something to that effect ..
Alex Wallau was maybe the best boxing analyst in the business when ABC still carried top notch fights. He and Dan Dierdorf made a great team in the late 80's - mid 90's. Wallau went on to be named president of the entire network.
that's weird, I always considered Wallau to be one of the worst, can't stand listening to him as he was usually wrong. the less tallented ABC version of Larry Merchant.
@@morrielarsen Its not weird. To each his own.
Hey, I like Alex Wallau.
Agreed. They made a nice team a mix of lighthearted (Dierdorf) and business-like informative (Wallau). They called some great fights too! Poor Mark Breland he was entertaining getting KO'd. Never knew that about Wallau, I liked him he took boxing seriously, he did his research on it and it was obvious he prepared for the fights he called.
Yeah, I liked Wallau too and then he disappeared. Then all of a sudden I heard he was the president. 😳I liked Jim Lampley too when he was at ABC.
Marlon Starling won this fight through his physicality and his willingness to walk through some serious punishment. Funny enough, this is probably the Best that Breland ever fought. Ripped in great body shots, worked his jab, hit Starling with some heavy right hands. His lack of physical strength really told as the fight progressed.
It told as soon as the fight started if you ask me look how easily Sterling threw him down
Loved starling he had such underappreciated skills.
Nunn was my dude in the 80s. and starling i felt at least fought him to a draw, maybe even won. Starling was an excellent fighter
Starling was an outstanding welterweight. Great defensive skills, brilliant counter puncher, and tough with it. It also underlines just how good Donald Curry was during his brief peak, having beaten him twice...
Curry did not deserve the decisionin the first fight with Starling. Go watch it and score it round for round.
I saw this on tv when it happened, Starling was not going to be denied again...just the way he keeps throwing Breland around...
Breland was hyped a LOT, he was Olympic GM - Best Boxer at the 1984 Olympics, IIRC, and he kinda got exposed early on in his career...Maybe I’m remembering wrong, but I seem to remember Breland getting back up to world class level again, and winning belts later in his career, I give him a lot of credit for not just packing it in when EVERYBODY was telling him he just wasn’t as good as they’d once thought...
I mean he was out boxing starling before the KO so I think if he didn’t exhaust himself so much and trained more on stamina then he could of beaten starling. Or at least come back after a bit with this new found technique of just pacing. Believe starling went the distance on multiple occasions as off breland, he did it once
I watched this fight live. Starling was too strong and had great punch resistance. He was also very awkward
YES!! Starling was so awkward, I admire him for being able to fight with that style, with his forearms parallel to his body, and his gloves up around his ears!!
In THIS fight he sure generated a lot of offense from that stance...of course it helps that Breland was absolutely a “sucker for the right hand in this fight”, as Wallau mentions...
EDIT: Sorry, it was Chris Schenkel who said that, not Alex Wallau.
His high guard was a new type of guard around this time so it was quite difficult to deal with it. He was also very quick fisted which most don’t realise to much about hum
Great classic video. With the "youngsters" ringside. Just heard of Starling from a piece in the local Hartford paper. Love history.
Starling always made Breland looked awful, robbed in the rematch.
YES I GOT LOVE 4 BOTH FIGHTERS; BUT MARLON WAS ROBBED IN THEIR 2ND FIGHT!!
I remember when this fight came up. I’d seen both guys fight…Starling several times, but I didn’t think he could beat Breland. I remember reading an Angelo Dundee interview a couple of days before the fight, and he said HIS guy-Starling-would come out on top. And lo and behold he was right. I was about 12 or 13 at the time, so I didn’t fully grasp the nature of Dundee’s history and relationships with Leonard and Ali, but this was the fight that introduced to Dundee’s greatness as a trainer.
Odawg? You still around? I haven't seen any comments from you for a long time. Perhaps I have not been looking. Yeah, I remember this fight too, but I didn't really think much of it, because Honeyghan, my fellow Jam-Brit, was the linear champ. I thought Honeyghan would deal with Starling but man, was I wrong.
@@mandarkastronomonov2962 Yep, still here. I have to admit that I was pretty surprised with the way “Honey’s” fights with Starling and Breland turned out myself, particularly the Starling fight. Up to that point, I was convinced that Honey was the best in the world at 147 because he was obliterating everything in his path (I disregard that BS with Jorge Vaca). I thought Starling was on the outs as a force at 147, but, like you, I was incredibly wrong. The Breland fight was really a sad spectacle. I figured he’d have a hard time with Breland because of the height and reach, but I expected Honey to win that fight. Starling gave him the blueprint to do so. Incredibly wrong on that one, too. I guess all that means that Starling was really one tough cookie.
I actually MET Marlin Starling once although I didn't know who he was at the time. It was maybe 4 or 5 years ago. He came by the grocery store where I work to shop and some fan in the parking lot recognized him. They had me play photographer for them as they posed for a number of pictures together. When I mentioned it to my boss, she recognized that it was Marlin. True story, I'm not even kidding.
Breland was a champ with no defense.
Marlon 'mini apollo creed' starlin lol
I love Breland, giant of the welterweight division.
For such an accomplished amateur, Mark sure kept his hands low.
Tony Perez did not do a good job at all. He never warned Breland for holding. Starling took it in stride though and kept coming in.
Tony Perez struggled on the big stage in several fights.
Breland’s style and physics were very much like Hearns.It’s just that as a professional Hearns was better technically and punched a lot harder.
Great fight moochie was a tricky puzzle
I think Breland's trainer poisoned his water 🤣
I see what you did there. 😂
0:20 phil coulson de avengers😂
Mark Breland is the same height as fellow Olympian Evander Holyfield yet he is/was a welterweight.
Incredible stuff really. Pep was the same heigh as Qawi and Qawi is a cruiserweight
Breland was too easy to hit and left his head on the centerline. No movement
Breland looked like Wilder did in the 3rd fight against Fury,he had a tough time standing up
Marlon Starling the real life Apollo Creed
Wonder why this fight wasn’t broadcast on HBO
Idk how old you are, but back in the 80s the three networks would show fights - GREAT FIGHTS!! - on the weekends!
Haugen-Pazienza 1 & 2 was on free tv, Sumbu Kalambay vs Mike McCallum, Virgil Hill vs Leslie Stewart, Leslie Stewart vs MARVIN JOHNSON...sigh...
So many others...I was AT quite a few of these fights myself, ones that took place in Atlantic City...
Even stuff like Chavez-Taylor was not PPV, it was on HBO...
Just a different time that was, those weekend afternoon boxing matches were just awesome!!
@@force263 Yes, indeed. Those were the good old days.
Yeah,I understand South Carolina for taxes, but Breland was a Gold Medal amateur boxing sensation and undefeated champion.Should of been Nevada on HBO.
Schenkel calls Breland “Cobra-like”, seemingly intentionally bringing to mind Thomas Hearns, who I believe the Duvas and everybody else were hoping Breland was going to emulate, AFA being an alltime great and deadly KO artist (and maybe Schenkel was also trying to make the audience think of Donald Curry, who had defeated Starling twice, comfortably, completely befuddling Marlon)
Had been ages since I’d seen this, it was a MUCH more competitive fight than I’d remembered, probably because it felt like Breland had lost more than just a single fight, I guess anyway...
Still happy for my friend Marlon. 👏
This fight was on Cbs
ABC
Starling was a fantastic fighter.
Boxing is SO SHIT nowadays.
No real knowledge in the sport at all.
Left, right, move - left, right, move - left, right, move . . . . . . . .
and he wanna throw in the towel on wilder while he is still on his feet fighting
Should they have been fighting with balance like that?
Yes
No drug test
33:55
Idk...something about that look....
Breland was just so tall and skinny that he had no balance.
When you are exhausted and a guy like Starling is pounding on you, you tend to lose your balance
If that was the case, he wouldn't have become world amateur and Olympic champion and regain the WBA belt afterwards.
wilder
breland was a great golden gloves fighter but a horrible professional fighter
he was world champ, fool.
Horrible? He was a world champion twice!
@@davidodoms2812 with all that golden gloves glory six times you’d think he would of been welterweight champion longer than he was. Just saying
@@samestuffdifferentday5712 YEAH
Horrible? Maybe underachieved but you can’t be terrible and be a champion
