    Hi everyone,
    I saw a post on Facebook posted by fightbeat.com and had to come back and visit!

    I haven't been here since I stopped covering Montreal boxing for the site back when Jean Pascal was starting his career and YouTube was taking off!

    Browsing the forums I saw some familiar names still here! Wow.

    Shout out to Cupey and Jake (if you are still here) for letting me be a journalist for a brief but happy time in my life.

    Long live fightbeat.com. :)

    Congrats, welcome back to a shell of the Fightbeat you knew from 12 years ago. We no longer take anything seriously around here (except Doub and JOM).

    Cupey and Jake are long gone from posting.

    I often wonder WTF happened to Donnybrook? That guy just vanished into thin air like 10-12 years ago. He was quality.

    Cupey died of AIDS years ago

    Jake completed hormone treatment and is now a real Puerto Rican

    Lol. I'm willing to bet that Jake still reads the forum from time to time.

    Cupey? Who knows and who gives a shit.

    How Cupey was ever able to reach one arm with the other arm to use those dirty needles I will never know.

    He tried to sell me paid access to the video section back in 2004.

    I invented youtube to get around him.

    Can't believe you've never seen these fights, live or on replay. Guess it's true.

    The only guy I ever bought fights from on this forum was (ironically enough) Kid Dynamite.

    To his credit, he got them over to me in timely fashion and it was good quality.

    And if you wanted to see them live you had to walk 100 miles to the arena uphill in the snow.

    Tape Trades were THE Absolute Shit Back in the Early Boxing Messageboard Days...

    REED Quickly Built Up His Catalogue of Fights and Became the Boxing Bootleg King of Dallas/Ft. Worth for a Minute or 3...Huuuuuge Part of REED Establishing his Name in Local Boxing Circles...

    YouTube Killed It, But Fond Memories Nonetheless...

    The guy who had the biggest collection of fights on the net was Brian Cooper - who sadly died like 5 years ago. He was my main connect, and probably a lot of other's connect as well. He had an absolutely astounding catalog of fights, and he was a cool guy. RIP to him.

    I used to pay big bucks for top quality VHS. Don't regret it even though the tapes are now useless. I got a lot of use out of them.

    Never heard of him, but hard to imagine he had as many fights as Cooper.

    That guy had EVERYTHING from everyone.

    Well all but the rarest fights probably are at this point. It's not just youtube but torrents.
