This is undoubtedly one of the best fights I have ever seen, and believe me I've seen some. The outstanding skill, speed and timing of Hefton vs the heart, courage and toughness of Roop. 🙏

I'm no fight expert, but I reckon Hefton has some of the best punching technique I've ever seen. His punches are totally un-telegraphed, as he seems to have no recoil or setup yet somehow manages to deliver vicious blows right on the mark. I grew up in the 70's in Illinois so I remember well the early days of ESPN showing sports like this....big fan.

My favorite fight was Joe Corley against Bill Superfoot Wallace. After a grueling fight, Wallace suggested that the two of them have another go at it the following year. Corley's response was, "Bill, I think I'm going to be busy that year."

Thanks for posting this- I bought a copy of the Heavyweight Strikers DVD from you but it had timecode stamped across the entire length of the DVD, so I returned it. Did you ever fix that manufacturing defect? I'd really like a copy of this and a bunch of other PKA classics at higher-than-KZitem quality.

Think about this....MMA fighter Vitor Belfort was knocked out with ONE front kick to his face by Anderson Silva and Roop took a LOT of them.....Roop has a heck of a chin for sure. Bad Brad was just too much for him that day.

You can see Roop's problem right at the first round. He is so much shorter than Hefton, so he had to try to be the inside fighter. The problem is that when he closes the distance and gets Brad to clench up, he doesn't go for Brad's liver, instead he punches his left side and head. Roop should've studied more Boxing strategy.
