Some Old School Images…. Pretty Funny Stuff

I was looking up some old article on Doce Pares and "Way of the Warrior" when I ran into this.

Blue Please:

Anyhow - if you go through this entire book - you will see some great old school ads from the 1990s.

While there is gold in almost every page - here are a few notables:

P. 19 - Gokor
P. 39 - Kimo
P. 42 - Marco Ruas
P. 49 - Chuck Norris
P. 53 - Gracies
P. 81 - Mark Kerr "Toughest NHB Fighter in the World"

Thanks Rickstorm...

Kind of miss the old magazine days. Long ago, I used to buy a copy of The Ring (bible of boxing) every month until everyone local stopped carrying it. I just saw a copy yesterday for the first time in forever, it was almost $8! For a magazine? (cover story was about Mawyeather v Maidana II which has obviously already happened) GTFO!

In for later! Phone Post 3.0

awesome.

Why is "the" and "of" highlighted everywhere?! Phone Post 3.0

MAN, yes! My dad had a ring subscription in the 90s and this was way pre internet for me. Every time he'd get one it was like a gift to me to see the photos of these guys - Pernell, JCC, Oscar, Tyson, Holyfield.. etc



I fucking miss 90s boxing.


VU for nostalgia. First mag I can remember being in black & white. I still remember the first issue I got had Oscar on the cover holding his gold medal. He was a fresh face kid and not a break out star yet. I got hooked immediately when I started reading. I actually believe that the transition from the old media (tv, magazines & newspapers) to the internet (especially this site) is one of the major reasons MMA surged so quickly & surpassed boxing for a younger fan base. Before that martial arts in magazines was represented as a bunch of goofy bullcrap.

Sorry - my fault.

I did a search for "Doce Pares and the Way of the Warrior"…

So google does a search and highlights the text in the search.

In any case - the ads are fucking great.

Brings back a lot of memories.
