Kathy was great, as always. And she's a much smarter, way more technical fighter in this one. Solid defense, good counter attacks and a formidable hit ratio. Not only this clearly was her win, but it should've been by a much larger margin.
I only saw this after many years, since it occurred. Kathy only threw about half of the punches that Yard did, but connected on a lot more of them, Kathy has a bad problem staying on her feet during a match, meaning she slips a lot. I am impressed at the muscle on Kathy. She was one strong woman !
Tough tough fight I gotta say two gladiators. This kinda fight really puts women's boxing right up there with men's. Kathy Long is ferocious fighter. Yard super well poised and great use of height
Most of the fighters that fought against Mike Tyson were much taller and bigger, but he handed their arses to them, the same goes for Kathy Long, a damn fine boxer and athlete.
i am a fighter from alta vista street bakersfield ca Eric nolands kung fu kick boxing i trained under sifu erik noland & cathy long borth undrescibal talent three years on kung fu until i got shot head injury so i sorta got unpurposely a graduate could not study with eric and cathy butt i 3am freaking like saying i seen long and noland in ring and not so i know they re goood Calvin Biggs 3
Long did very well against Yard. Yard looks like a guy, and has a much longer reach than Long. (Don't know if it's a he or a she) Most of Long's punches landed well, which is the more remarkable considering the difference in reach.
@@47tooter : Exactly, it's not the amount of punches that are thrown, it's the amount of punches that land that does the damage is what counts. Unless someone seen it differently, Kathy Long definitely won without question.
Long won this fight ....... I have enough stress in my life ..... watching fighting is like watching the elections ..... one lost , one won ....in this case neither are assholes , just a good old fashioned donnybrook .... but the judges verdict was wrong ......just like the elections ....99% of the time
Watching this match-up between Kathy Long and this Yard fellow, from the very first round, is like watching another Amanda Nunes all over again laying wast to a stable of UFC great fighters. I will not be surprised if this Yard guy has a girlfriend too! But then again, Kathy has been known to have karate chopped and beaten up a string of Hercules-sized male baddies (in her movies, of course) and therefore, there's nothing to worry about here.

I used to train with Kathy in Bakersfield CA, and she only sparred with us men, she is and has always been tough. ❤
What I like about Long is that she actually listens to her trainers, even the ref.
2:15: That was a beautifully compact hook. Happy to see them work behind the jab too.
This fight looked like a man fighting a woman, and Kathy is the toughest woman in the ring, rooted for her the whole way.
fantastic match between two beauty queens thanx alot please post more of Vintage women boxing , wrestling or grappling.
2 beauty queens, really?

Next Sandy Yard vs Rocky Field
Kathy is a true althete I believe she is the one who brought young generation out in kick bocking
Kathy Long Deserved this Win!
Good sportsmanship together at the end of a very close contest.
Both great fighters but Kathy got better techniques and her strikes were more accurate, a well deserved winning
Kathy has awsome throws
Кати -машина ! Супер !
i watched (at the time) Long's kick boxing matches. I did not realize that she did straight boxing matches, too.
2 MMA bouts as well!
Love the included oldie commercials!
Great fight!
Kathy deserved to win just, she had the heart of a lion even though Sandy was much bigger.

At 55 today. This lady is a badass
The best!
Will it be a long yard or only a yard long ?
Kathy Long looks so much better with her hair like that.
Kathy Long the Best,!!!!!
The first round was like shadow boxing.
It's a long yard to winning here.
THE SOUND IS SO BAD ON THIS FIGHT LIKE MONO LEFT SIDE ONLY?
Wow!! That "Sandy" bloke thought he was going to have an easy time of it, fighting against a girl. Boy did Kathy Long sure show him!!!
Kathy Long ! Damn what a fox. A female Mike tyson.
Heart of a lion . .
This looks like it was from 1988 not 1998
Remember that you have to take the belt away convincingly, from the champion
Even at that she lost

How come no kicking?

good job kathy
I woulda given it to Yard.
Yesssssssssssss
🇺🇸
Blue won that .
Kathy win by judges favoritism.
The Longest Yard.
I think it was a draw.
This was rigged the wrong person dir
Good and close fight. Even though I like Long, IMHO Yard landed alot more punches and won this fight.
I think it a bad call by the judges.
Throwing punches isnt landing punches, long landed 42% VS Yard 19%
Um....no. She didn't.
MAFIA....
Kathy long was awesome. She beat me up and took my lunch money in school.
The judges were clearly influenced by the crowd. That's boxing for you.
Sorry , Long out boxed her .

You are wrong n both claims lol
가마카제 뚜들겨패는거 보고 왔다...ㅋㅋ

Yard won.
What this was rigged the wrong winner was announcedthe winner where i guess the fix was in
Kathy Long no ganó esa pelea,se la regalaron.
Que porquería!
C un peu n’importe quoi....
Катя это женщина а это кто с ней боксирует?Баба-мужик?пипец...
Ох еть...Катя с бабой мужиком дерется
Girly men!
Kathy muy femenina

Absolutely, doctor! And I bet that Long ''dude'' would beat the living shit out of you, too! I would have paid to see that!!
Is long fighting a man?
Cathy really lost !
Kathy Long sure gets a lot of hometown decisions. What a padded career.
Did you lose to her?
Lmao
@@davethomas5161 stating the obvious, after watching her videos,
@@bucketmouth7705 You clearly need glasses.
Yard could have been good if someone taught her how to fight
Im reminded of how bad of anouncer this guy was
